Okay, this post has nothing to do with babies... well, not my flesh and blood babies, anyway! This is too crazy not to share.
On Friday I had a substitute teacher so that I could get my state reading testing done before I go on Maternity Leave. For FAIR testing, we have to pull each child individually and test them on letters, sight words, vocabulary pictures, and reading. It takes a while to get through everyone. I had one child left to test towards the end of the day on Friday, and when I asked the second to last student to go get her, she said, "Oh she went home." I said, "Oh, really? Was she sick?" The student replies, 'No, she swallowed a crayon and had to go home!" Umm... WHAT??? Yes. My 6-year-old, almost a 1st grader somehow swallowed a (tiny) crayon. She was fine when I saw her. I think she just got freaked out because we all reacted to her like, "You did WHAT???"
My kids were AWFUL for the sub (and I had a REALLY good sub!), and this was the final straw. I went into the room and at that moment decided to reward the students who were well behaved for the whole day. So, I counted sticks and only 8 kids stayed on "green" that day, so I told them I would bring them Munchkins on Monday for being well behaved for our guest teacher. The rest of them just stared at me like, "Wait, what???" because even my normally "good" kids were not so good for the sub. What kills me is that they KNEW I was at school... only a few feet away from our classroom!
I'm going to chalk their craziness up to the Full Moon that happened this past week. I really hope that's what it was, otherwise the next 17 school days are going to feel like Kindergarten Boot Camp so that they can get their behavior back in check before my sub takes over.
I need suggestions for fun closure things I can do with my kids before I leave. Not necessary End of the Year stuff, but stuff I can do with them since I will be leaving. Thoughts?
