Tales from the trenches

Phew, it’s been a while since I wrote anything. I know, I know sorry for keeping you all in the dark. I know how desperate you all are to read about my life and what’s happening in it. Let me see if I can relive some stress and anxiety for you about my life because I know you have all been soooo worried.
I’m teaching now, supply, and so far I'm loving it. It’s actually nice to move around and hang out with the different classes for the day. I thought maybe I wouldn’t like moving around and not having the same kids each day but I’m looking on the bright side of it all and that, my friends involves the pay cheque. February 2nd is the magic day where I will get to pay some bills that I’ve been “forgetting” about for the last month or so.
Also I have a lead on an LTO (long term occasional) where I would be covering a grade 5 class until June so the teacher can have a baby. So cross your fingers and toes and Ill let you know what happens. Although I wouldn’t mind moving about the board more and getting to know other Principals.
So here are some funny classroom stories for your enjoyment.
This week I was in a grade one class and all dressed up in my sexy teacher clothes (well at least I think they are sexy because they are not jogging pants and a polo that I have to wear at the gym) Anyway I had on a long beaded necklace with my shirt and jacket, when a little girl came up to me and began stroking my necklace and started talking to me…”what’s your name? Are you our teacher today? You’re pretty, what are we going to do? Where did you buy your necklace? Is purple your favourite colour?” and on and on she went all the while stroking my necklace and gazing up into my eyes. Cute as anything. So needless to say I’m a hit as a teacher and love the complements the little ones give so freely, and yes I believe every word they say. I am pretty you know!
