Spillage

Today I returned to another familiar kindergarten.

The kids were super hyper!

So yes, it is spring even if the weather doesn't seem to think so.

We also dealt with lots of spills this morning! The kids have breakfast in the classroom (if they want to) and today it was cereal in those little plastic containers with the pull off paper lids, milk or apple juice and apples. We had about 3 or 4 kids spill their milk - a couple were big spills too. Also had another kid spill their entire apple juice. Then another dumped their cereal all over the floor (before putting milk in it.) It felt like I was spending the first 20 minutes of the day sweeping up cheerios, and mopping up milk. The floor was grossly sticky for the rest of the day.

And that's pretty much all of interest for the day. The rest was just calendar, writing (which was quite the struggle for some of them! I spent a good 5 minutes asking a kid what he saw on his plant only to get a completely blank stare!), counselor, and math.

Is it really only Tuesday? Feels much later....

Sounds like it was one of those "average" days when you can't think of anything exciting or abnormal to report (other than the spilled breakfast foods) That is better than a day filled with annoying happenings! Love you!!! MOM
