Kindergarten Life

I just wanted to start off my apologizing for not blogging for the past 2 and 1/2 months.  EEK! I guess my life has been busy with graduating college, birthday, Christmas and the whole first job thing.  The past two months have been wonderful!

I have been at my first "real" job for the past two weeks.  I am loving loving them!  It is my first time in Kindergarten and I have definitely had to jump in head first.  My class has 30 students, with the other class having 31 students.  This particular school does a lot of team teaching between the two Kindergartens. I absolutely love that!  I have never been at a school big enough to have more than one of each grade level and it is something I adore.  It is nice to have someone there to lend a helping hand, give advice and just to listen to me vent.  So thankful for such wonderful people that have been there to support me.

I need to start blogging about all of the funny quotes the children say.  It seems like each and every minute of the day I have children constantly telling me something that makes me giggle.  For now I will leave you with this one -

Me: "Student, why do you feel like you are sitting in timeout?"
Student: "I don't know.  I just need something to do all the time.  I get bored."
Me:  "Well okay I will get you some added work that you can do when you get bored."
Student:  Thinks about this for a while and than responds with "Ms. Childers I am just a snack eater, I just need snacks."  "I really like doughnuts."

If that is what he think will help :)
