I have been at the elementary school for two days now. The kids have been inside since last Monday. It is now Tuesday of the following week. They have not been out for lunch recess. They are INSANE!! Here is a run down of the day.
Morning: One kid was standing on a table. Asked him to get down: he sassed me.
Two others had an argument about how one of them put something in their pocket that did not belong to them.
In PE one tattled to me that a group had six and not five. I told him to chill, the teacher had made the groups.
A student laughed at another student for not getting the problem in math.
A kid had a tantrum for not being picked to go to the smartboard.
Constant noise. Had to quiet them four or five times before they were actually quiet.
In the afternoon: One kid got mad at another for doing the same math station twice. The one who did it twice was picked as a partner for someone else.
The tattler told me that people were talking. I said so are you.
The tattler policed a game of 'guess the number' by complaining that some had gone up more than once.
The tattler tattled on someone when the teacher asked who is talking during instruction and he pointed to the back and said 'everyone back there.'
The tattler proceeded to talk to his neighbour after ratting everyone out. He got asked to leave the class.
So today was mostly about management. I don't actually remember what everyone learned. But now that the weather is nice, they can go outside and be crazy...Hallelujah!!
