Now Playing Tracks

thought i was being all maternal and caring by walking my little group of preprimary kids back to their classes with one umbrella. Should really remember its usually my legs that get drenched during squally thunderstorms. Which means that having 5 tiny kids who are the height of my legs, cling to me under one umbrella is a really good way of ensuring that… I remain completely dry.

Awh man. I put a little kid in time out. And then completely forgot that I had put him there.

So what was just supposed to be 5-10 minutes sit and face the wall and “think about what you have done”.. Became a 30 minute reflection of “why am I still here?! Miss C must be REALLY mad at me.”

Which would explain this at the end of the session:

Kid: can i come out of time out now Miss C? I’m so sorry, I won’t do it again..
Me: *shit I forgot u were still there!!*
Kid: *massive hug around my waist*
Me: *i should put kids in time out for longer*

I wish I could share what I see when students think I am not looking and they do something incredibly funny. Or suspect. It’s not the same when I try to put it into words because I can’t describe everything else about the context of the situation and the student and everything else. Ah. The never ending joys of teaching.
