My preschoolers are in the middle of a camping theme. I have a tent set up in the classroom and we have been talking about things we might see or do if we were camping.
I've covered one side of my easel with felt to make a felt board. I trade out the things to stick to the felt depending on the theme or skills we are focusing on. Velcro works well on felt boards just in case anyone needs to know. Ha!
Since we are camping, I found a set of numbers that have a picture of a woodland animal on each number. Today I was helping the kids put the numbers in order. When we came to a number with a skunk on it, I held it up and asked the kids if they knew what the animal was.
***Warning...bad word in the following***
Kids: It's a skunk!!
Me: What do you know about skunks?
Preschooler: They piss. (Seriously, the child was serious and didn't mean for there to be a shock factor which made it funnier)
Me: (Trying not to fall out on the floor laughing) Wh..wh..huh...what did you say?
Preschooler: No, I mean they fart.
Me: Hahahahahahahaha!

Why Skunks Stink

I finished up my first year "back to work." I loved working with those little preschoolers. They made me laugh. It was hard adjusting to not being home all the time. When I was home, I wasn't home. I was running errands and volunteering at the kids school....A LOT. I really enjoy being at their school and think it is important to be there. It allows me to have a closer relationship with the staff at the school and it is always fun to see the kids faces light up when they see me.
I was the room parent for Aaron's class this year. Hannah was disappointed that I wasn't her room parent, but I still helped with her class as needed and volunteered in the Media Center. Shelving books is VERY THERAPEUTIC!! Parents sign up to be a room parent at the beginning of the year. Hannah's class already had a volunteer and Aaron's class needed one. I really didn't want to lead both, so I went with Aaron's. I know since this is his last year of elementary school, he won't be as excited to have Mom hanging out at his school next year.
Anyway, I guess I did an o.k. job at the preschool as I have officially accepted a new position next year. The preschool is starting a Transitional Kindergarten class and I will be the lead teacher.
