Walking into my classroom you'd think my kids have attitude problems. Their perceived sarcasm however, is really just attributed to the creativity and imagination of 3 and 4 year olds. Maybe because it was the last day of the school week, or maybe because I was feeling a little silly myself, but regardless, on Friday my kids were extra imaginative.
Me: "Friends, put a bubble in your mouth." (To those out of the teaching world, this is a cue for students to not speak. If you have a bubble in your mouth, how can you talk?)
M: "Well Miss Glass, I'm sorry but I just can't find my bubble."
Me: "M, that's too bad, you really need to find your bubble quickly, we're about to read a story."
M: "Well Miss Glass, by accident I threw my bubble away in the trash."
Me: "Well M, maybe you can borrow a bubble from one of your friends while we're reading?"
M: "But Miss Glass, how can I borrow a bubble from a friend if they all have their bubbles in their mouths?"
Me: "Okay M, I keep an extra bubble in my pocket for times like these, you can borrow this one. (As I give her an empty hand.)
M: "Oh thanks Miss Glass!" (Puts an imaginary bubble in her mouth and remains silent for a significant amount of time.)
Thus, problem solved.
Me: "Friends, I love your quiet feet walking in the hall right now!"
E: "Thanks Miss Glass! I had my mom put on my quiet shoes this morning!"
He was dead serious.
Best moment of the week:
L: "Miss Glass, we forgot to do our learning cheer! Can we do it when we get back to the classroom! I need to grow up and up and up!"
Funniest moment of the week:
A: "Miss Glass, this is my robot. Her name is Big Sister Robot. She has a baby sister who cries all the time, and Big Sister Robot doesn't listen because she's too busy singing her robot songs."
Grossest moment of the week:
There were three accidents during nap time this week. 'Nuff said.
Goodbye Teachers and Friends,
Miss Glass
