Kindergarten Craziness

Today I traveled far, far away (well, about as far as I can and still be in Salem) to sub in kindergarten.  The day went pretty well, and the kids were sweet, but wow, was is busy!  The AM class had 29 kids in it.  I think one or two might have been gone, but I can't remember now.  Either way, that is a LOT of kindergartners!  The PM class had 28 kids.  

During the day we did calendar and a multitude of songs, a Mother's Day art project, some writing, snack and sharing.  It was a little crazy at times trying to squeeze all of this in.  I was running back and forth collecting finished art projects, putting them on the drying rack, bringing the writing booklet to the kids who were done with the art, checking the writing to make sure they'd done it right, etc.  Times that by 29 or so kids and I didn't sit down much today!

In the afternoon session I met a little boy who had the same last name as me.  He thought this was pretty hilarious, and reminded me that our names were the same quite a few times.  This was nice as it distracted him from eating paper and glue, as I was told he sometimes does.

So it was a good day, and it's almost always fun to spend the day playing with the cute little ones, but I'm sure tired!  Kinda hoping for some older kids later this week.
