I'm sure the pilgrims wore these....

You know what's great about being a kindergarten teacher?

You can make your kids wear funny hats...

and they think it's the greatest thing ever.

Nothing says "Thanksgiving" like a giant, construction paper turkey hat.

Happy Turkey Day, y'all.

Good thing these kids can't read minds....

It's Monday. And it happens to be an especially Mondayish kind of Monday. As my assistant would say, these kids are wilder than 15 bucks. I love my job. I really do. But there are times where I am feeling less than patient with these children. These sweet, innocent, adorable children. Shocking, I know. However, I try to keep a calm exterior and only say what I'm REALLY thinking to myself. So here's a post I'll call WHAT I SAY/WHAT I THINK....

WHAT I SAY....
Remember, raise your hand when you need something.

WHAT I THINK.....
If you say my name one more time, I'm changing it and not telling you what it is.

WHAT I SAY....
Eyes on me when I'm talking...

WHAT I THINK.....
Oh my LANTA, can you focus for 15 consecutive seconds?!?!?!?

WHAT I SAY....
Cover your mouth when you cough.

WHAT I THINK....
AGGGGHHHHHHHH! I spend half my pay check on antibiotics, now quit getting your germs on me!!!

WHAT I SAY.....
Let's get quiet.

WHAT I THINK.....
Oh my LORD, do you ever shut up?!?!?!?

and finally,

WHAT I SAY....
Please go sit down.

WHAT I THINK....
Poke me one more time and see what happens...

Happy Monday!

How to Eat A Peanut Butter Sandwich

Have you ever seen a kindergartner eat a peanut butter sandwich?
They don't eat from one side to the other.

They eat straight into it. And the peanut butter makes big swirls on their cheeks.

This is what it looks like when they're done.And this is what they look like.

They'll stay like this until you say, "You need to wash your face."

This supports my theory that their nerve endings don't go to the surface of their skin...
