...Or stream of consciousness type thingie.
1. Germs. They are real. And evil. EVIL!
2. Nosebleeds seem to be contagious. Either that, or somebody is punching somebody.
3. Kids have no fear. Their idea of a perfect recess game is "Let's run through the play area with this rope stretched between us and see how many people we can knock down!"
4. Kids are so much more patient than I am with each other. They don't mind helping the girl who can only use half her body do things over and over, and they teach each other well.
5. If there is a way to draw on it, they will draw on it.
6. Hand sanitizer is slippery. Especially on the floor.
7. Whining. Don't do it.
8. It's better to try your best and do it wrong than to sit there and not do anything.
9. If you do it wrong, big erasers are magical.
10. Ticonderoga pencils stink.
11. If you have to sharpen a pencil 10 times a day, you need a new pencil. Or to stop drawing on things!
12. Teachers have to have an iron stomach. If it can come out of your body, I've had to clean it up. Or at least keep kids away from it until the custodian comes.
13. No matter how slow, defiant, mischievous, smart-alecky, loud, soft, etc. the child...they can always worm their way into your heart and make you want to make their world better for years to come.
14. 13 is not an unlucky number...right.
