I wonder this as I lay it on thick, this week.
no you may NOT go get a drink of water down the hall.
you will GO to the spot in the line where you started and you will
NOT run. you will NOT skip.
I am waiting for a STRAIGHT line against the wall.
I do not like to be this way.
But in 10 minutes,
my class of crazy creative terrors are humming away at their projects.
I said,
Today you MUST work at a table.
and they are all working at tables.
and they are making these great masks and we are talking about what you can do with a hot glue gun that you can't do with tape
and no one grabs the hot glue gun
and the kids are happy, and I am In Control.
BUB- big ugly butt!
BFWP- butt filled with poop!
SSP- super smelly fart!
SBP- stupid butt penis!
PDD- poopy dum dum!
this is not last week.
this is not last week:
we are not making up bathroom acronyms. I am not laughing.
they are not jumping out of their seats to start the project.
they are not so excited about the piles of materials that they're grabbing
they are not making crazy sculpturepile messes under tables,
they are not so involved that they cannot keep their voices down.
they are not hurrying through their projects to start a pretend hot dog stand all together
they are not pushing furniture frantically around the room.
they are not yelling PENIS DOGS FOR SALE!! PENIS DOGS FOR SALE!!!
they are not grabbing the yarnpilepenisdogs and throwing them around the room
they are not riffling through the trash and discovering the curious little wooden sticks.
they are not exchanging and jabbing each other with sticks
they are not refusing to put the sticks back, even when I explain that they were used for lice checks this morning. even when I explain what lice are.
they are not stopping until I call the supervisor.
This week is not last week.
This week is a Good Week.
and the children are Good.
great story.
