Enthusiastic teacher face!
One of my normally shy, reserved students went to the board and made this timeline yesterday.
I was so proud that I told him I would take a picture of it.
As you can see above, I love being a teacher.
But I don't always love what teachers need to say.
There are many times when I wish I could just record myself and press repeat...
Time to line up guys.
No, I'm not going to repeat the directions.
Do you need to use the bathroom?
Do you need to get a drink?
What did Mr. B (my aide) tell you?
I'm just going to wait until you guys are quiet.
Do your best to ignore him.
Focus on yourself.
Focus on yourself.
Focus on yourself.
Do you need to use the bathroom?
Clear the top of your desk.
Sit appropriately.
Inappropriate comment!
Well, get another pencil then.

If it's cold enough to snow, it's definitely cold enough to wear a coat.
Raise your hand if you need help.
The timer beeped.
And finally... do you need to use the bathroom?
Come on - moms, teachers, students.
I know you wish you were on repeat too.
What do you find yourself saying over & over?
Be kind to your sister.
ReplyDeleteHands down.
You need to share ALL of the princesses.
Your sister had that first.
If you want to pack a bag to bring, you need to pack it now.
Two minutes until _____ (nap, dinner, errands).
Gentle please.
That's my mouth. That's my nose.
Your sister is not scary.
You may watch one video.
What did you find?
Hands down.
Out of your mouth.
And, of course, do you need to use the bathroom?
Please wait.
Delete"Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see..."
Not safe.
Bottom down, face forward.
Who is in charge?
I don't know.
I love you.
Go to sleep.
Your sister is not scary, who is in charge and I love you were my favorites.
DeleteLOL- this comment could easily turn into a blogpost of its own!!!
ReplyDeleteI know it must be frustrating at times- I feel like teachers are so similar to mothers: you use your WHOLE self all day long; your body/mind/voice/talent/patience/endurance, etc. I can only imagine how hard it would be and those kids aren't even your own!
Great job, Charlotte. You are a blessing and an inspiration to so many!

ReplyDeleteA lot of our family life sounds like I'm just pressing repeat too.
Love that photo of you!

Focus on yourself. - I love it!
ReplyDeleteMine are:
Don't hit your sister
Don't push your sister
Stop biting your brother
Sit down (bath time)
Don't touch that
No more climbing on the counter
And the list could go on and on!
Please put the potato back on the shelf
ReplyDeleteButt on the chair
Yes your colors are pretty, but not when on the (table, wall, tv, etc)
Hand out of your diaper
Put your arm back in your shirt
Yes, that's your tummy
What do you have?
Please give that to mommy
We don't play with these
You can jump on the floor, not the couch
Please sit
Yes you are cute, funny, silly
Don't throw away your bib
hysterical.
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong if I steal your "Inappropriate Comment" and start using it on adults (and occasionally myself)?
