Screaming

One thing that they don't teach you in college is the likely hood of you having a screamer on the first day of school.

I have always wanted to be like Miss Honey in Matilda, and frankly I always try to live like that. I think everything is sunshine and roses!

So it was my first day teaching Kindergarten. My room was ready, I had my schedule planned out for the day and the kids were ready to begin!

We were both starting together. 

The kids were quietly coloring a "Welcome to Pinewoods" page when student A walks in. 

Everything was fine! Until Mommy left.

Student A screamed and cried and tried running out the door for....

FORTY MINUTES!

40

All of my other little ones were calm and quietly and probably very nervous.

Never would I have expected that. 

At one point she was running around the school!

This lasted for TWO WEEKS.

In that two weeks I had to put her on a bus crying.

I thought it was her birthday so she was wearing a crown whilst running around the school ( It wasn't her birthday)

And then she got moved into another Kindergarten class to be with her twin sister.

And that was my first two weeks of teaching.

And guess what?

I still love every second of it!
