Learned yesterday that report cards are due on Monday. I’ve known my 25 students for less than 3 weeks.
It’s Canadian Library Month and I’m missing my favourite place.
My students love to dance. I love to dance too so this gives me great joy. Kindergarten, Covid-19 style is a pretty sad first experience of school, but it is what it is and the little ones know no better.
Later, I snapped at my students and made a munchkin cry. Poor thing was visibly upset when her grownup picked her up after school. She told her grownup that the teacher hurt her. 😔 I told her grownup that I did hurt her. I hurt her feelings 😭
Mad. Outraged. And then I hear their story and I soften.
Plan but don’t hold your breath.
After living in my mother’s basement for most of the past 20 years, I move to my first ‘own’ home in a few days.
And so it’s Friday night and even though I wanted to binge on some ‘True Blood’, I’m sitting here planning and eating chocolate because I won’t be able to sleep otherwise.
I heard so many bad things about the class I’ve just inherited and wasn’t sure I was up for the challenge. And yet, here I am today reflecting on our extremely busy, but good day and I couldn’t be more thankful that I’m all those Black and Brown babies teacher.
15 minutes of yoga to start and end my day makes up for not drinking any water until 4:45pm right? 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
