Chicks & Fish & Silkworms, Oh My!

Today I returned to the kindergarten class that has a bunny.  Only now they not only have a bunny, but they have multiple types of fish, 2 young chickens (who I believe they've had since they hatched), butterflies, and silkworms!  The bunny wasn't there today, but despite that and the fact that I took some allergy meds before I came, I still had a bit of an allergy attack shortly after I got there.  I think I just took the medicine a little too soon before I got there and it didn't really have time to "kick in".

But even though my nose didn't love the first 3o minutes or so, it was a really easy day for me.  (Finally!)  The teacher stayed until around 2 because she had some stuff she wanted to do with the class and her appointment wasn't until later.  So while she was still there I cut some stuff out.  After she left, the kids went to recess with the assistant (who apparently, had not had the same speech on all the things assistants can't do - thank goodness!).  When the came back from recess I read a book to the class and read through a Scholastic News paper with them while the assistant and a parent volunteer called kids back to finish up an art project.  This last for about 25 minutes and then the kids went to PE.  After PE they went home.  So my pay is pretty sweet today considering how little work I actually did! :)
