I went through almost a dozen boxes of tissues because of runny noses. There were mysterious illnesses that cleared up when the work was done and free time was to be had.
We had wardrobe malfunctions and lost coats, hats and gloves but the best thing that happened was in one of my kinder classes.
The kids were working on their iStation program. It is a self paced pre-reading program. They work on it each time they come to class.
During this particular class I noticed a red dot on the ceiling. Normally this means that a kiddo has decided to turn the mouse over and use the dot to make designs on the ceiling. Not this time.
I looked over to see a kinder kid licking the mouse. She was trying to lick the red dot on the bottom of the mouse and couldn't quite figure out why she couldn't get to it. Now remember, we are almost half way through the school year. They have had the lectures about how to treat the equipment and how germs work but still the lure of the red dot called her.
When I saw it I couldn't help it, I just started laughing.
It was either laugh or cry...so I chose to laugh!
