Kindergarteners = Tiny Comedians

I survived week 1! And I still love it here and love my kids and love teaching.
While my students can be frustrating at times and I have certainly had a fair share of overwhelming moments this week, they never fail to make me smile and laugh.
Here are just a few funny moment and quotes from week one...

I went to pick them up from their library time (this was their first ever special), and walked in to find one sitting on the librarians lap (she cried after I left) and another one sprawled out on the cement floor completely asleep in the middle of the rest of my kids sitting up nicely listening to the story.

At recess on Thursday, one of my little cherubs comes running up to me with one shoe on. When I asked her where the other one was, she exclaims "It's on the other side of the fence! It just fell over there!" The fence is an 8 foot wall. Sure enough when I went to look through the gate, there was a small flip flop in the middle of the sidewalk down the street.

Today one of my students looks at me in the middle of snack time and says "Miss Merz, are you born again?"

While most of them remember my name, I still often get called "teacher" today I responded with "My mom didn't name me teacher!" to which another student responded with wide eyes, "Miss Merz, you have a mom?!"


And this was only a 2.5 day week! They are already winning over my heart. :)
