What's That?
New Kinder class today! Wow! They were only in my lab for 45 minutes. Felt so much longer. All were so excited and eager to work on the computers. All, that is, but one! The one wanted to run around my classroom. He wanted my snake puppet that I keep up high on a shelf. Yes, I gave it to him. It quieted him for a moment. He wanted to ask me what everything in my room was. Wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have 16 other students sitting there looking at me and waiting for direction. I finally got through the beginning of my class where I explain how things work. I did this all the while my one active student is standing in front of me asking, "what is that?" Anyway, got the students on the computers. I even got the 'one' on a computer too! He put his headphones on and then I proceeded to take over. I used my computer to take over his computer and controlled his game. He, of course, thought that pushing all the buttons on the keyboard was causing the game to work. Sigh! Please give me patience. Class time ended and we made it through. I asked for the Sammy Snake puppet back. Uh oh! No way was he giving it up. Didn't think we needed to play tug-o-war in front of the other students. I decided to let him take it with him and then retrieve it later from his teacher. Another day......How do kinder teachers do it all day long! Wow! They are special people!
