Your Body's Mouth...

In the Midwest, all things are
         hot
                 Hot
                         HOT
throughout the summer, so when school starts
      you expect children are just used to sweating.

Apparently, for Missing the K Sound,
      sweat is a foreign occurrence.

This was made clear when he came
             RUNNING to me
     in a panic...

"Miss Crazy Young Preschool Teacher,
     my hair is wet!!!!"
           How did that happen?!?!

Well, silly me, I explained it in a way I
               THOUGHT
       he would understand.

"Well, Missing the K Sound, that's sweat.
        Your body is telling you that you are hot.
     Why don't you sit in the shade and cool down?"

What came next was too brilliant for words.

"Miss Crazy Young Preschool Teacher,
       my body can't tell me anything,

MY BODY DOESN'T HAVE A MOUTH."

I could end the story there and definitely get a great laugh,

but it gets better.

Because I, the smart one that I am,
    decided to try and talk him through this one.

"Missing the K Sound, what's this?"
             while pointing at my mouth.

"Your mouth."

"Yes, and that's on your body,
          so your body does have a mouth."

"No, Miss Crazy Young Preschool Teacher,
      your mouth is on your face,
                   NOT
              your body....silly!!!"

No words could escape my mouth
     because if I opened my mouth, the laughter
          would have escaped.

2 Fire Drills

Well,
       officially
                      SCHOOL STARTED!!!!

And like any new year,
             It's difficult to remember these students are closer to 3
                             than 4
       And therefore, can't quite do all my now

                                         KINDERGARTNERS

                can do, which was very clear when we had
Not one
                No sir, one is too easy
        No sir, we are too smart for one,
We need two!!!
                                    Yes two!

Fire drills in our first week of school.


And let the craziness ensue.

We managed to get out of the door in a straight line,
      but once out the door we needed to form a
           big team huddle
Therefore
     blocking everyone else from getting out the door.

Once the traffic jam was cleared, we were on our way again.

We made it to the line we stand on during fire drills
         and began the long wait.
The wait where all fears come out,
      The wait where we think the most dreadful thing
Just MIGHT be happening in the building
         where the pretend fire is burning.

"IS MY LUNCHBOX BURNING?!"

(Not the lunch...the lunchBOX)

We survived the first, but then the second came.

We were napping.

                                           THIS drill was not planned.

All of our shoes were off,
     many of us were asleep.

            Quite the wake-up...
"Get up, we have to go outside for a fire drill."

We made it, with the help of many other teachers...
                But seriously?!

If this is any sign of our year,
         Let the
CRAZINESS ensue.
