It's Friday. I can TOTALLY tell. The kids are antsy, teachers are tired, and the behavior is out of the norm.
But I must share THE craziest thing to happen during my 9 years of teaching. Get ready. This is good. :)
While walking around and monitoring during lunch, a pack of silverware flies across the table and falls at my feet. I look up to figure out where it came from. Before I can begin my "investigation," the little guy sitting directly beside me picks up his milk carton. In true Real Housewives fashion, he splashes some of it in the face of another little guy sitting across the table. As I am in my "Holy cow! This is actually happening!" moment of shock, he proceeds to sling the milk carton, emptying the rest of the milk all over the little guy. :(
As if that wasn't enough, we had the 2nd fire drill (both on Fridays) while we were in the media center for our weekly lesson/checkout time. Most of the kids did well, but two just lost it. Something clicked. We managed to get back insisde in time to go to Specials (thank goodness).
On top of all this, I'm flying out to Chicago for the weekend for my sister-in-law's 30th birthday. I really don't know how I'm going to make it, but I'm sure I will. I hope all of you are able to relax this weekend and wind down from the week. It is SO necessary.
So I must know...what the craziest thing you've ever witnessed/experienced at school??? Y'all know these kids are endless, unpredictable entertainment!!!
I can't think of any really crazy things any of my students have ever done, but my best friend always has good stories. She had a student pee in a bottle and give it to a first grader to drink! How awful! And then, just this week, she said a student put a bag of poop on her desk. lol I know it's not really funny, but looking back on it...It's PRETTY funny!

Oh, Ginger! Those top my story! Geez!!!
DeleteThose stories are so funny; at least now that their over. I have had so many funny stories but nothing in comparison to Ginger's lol. Once a kid was explaining to me how his dad was having surgery so that they couldn't have any more kids. I was like, "Sweetheart, I'm not sure your dad wants you sharing that with people." Then I had a year where I had those "Mean Girls"! I had a substitute one day and the girls got into one of their bickering conversations at recess. I guess it got out of control because they started throwing worms at each other. Then a kid asked me what religion I was. When I told him, he informed me that his father said everyone who believed in what I believed was evil. I was like oh really! lol
ReplyDeleteI could go on and on! lol
Hope you have a fabulous school year! :)
