Sleepy and Grumpy

I think there were a few other "seven dwarfs" thrown in today too!

One girl fell asleep at her desk when the class was supposed to be drawing and cutting out pictures of crabs. The other children kept wanting to point this out to me and I kept trying to get them to leave her alone. Eventually I think she woke herself up and actually finished the project quite a bit before some of the kids who never were asleep. Curious.

A couple other boys were having much trouble getting along today. They argued, send each other dirty glares, once acted like they were going to start swinging if I hadn't jumped in. It was very annoying.

The rest of the class was just regular and demanding! Every second someone needed my help, my attention, my incredible problem solving skills, etc. After only 3 hours with the kiddos my voice was sore.

Tomorrow I go back and I'm hoping that my contention that full days are easier than half day afternoons will remain true.

Sorry it was such a tough afternoon. That was nice of you to let the little girl rest. Who knows what caused her to be so tired. Sometimes 3 hours can seem an eternity!
Love you!!! MOM
