The Pre-K kids scare me, but they also crack me up. Today I read them Stellaluna, a story about a bat. I held up the book with the bat on the front and asked, "Does anyone know what kind of animal this is?" One boy yelled, "A tiger!" and everyone agreed. I said, "No... why don't we try again?" And another boy said, "A goat?"
After reading Stellaluna, we attempted to play "Bat, Bat, Bird" (Duck, Duck, Goose). It was hilarious to watch them trying to figure it out.
When they lined up to leave, a little girl told me I could come to her birthday party. Awesome.
This is the best part of my new position- working with all different grade levels. Other than that, I really miss my old school. I went out to dinner with some friends from my old school, and we talke for 2 and a half hours. I miss them so much! They've been in the district longer than I have and agreed with my conclusion that my new school is very clique-ey. I thought it was my imagination, but it's not. They also told me about how most of the women there are back-stabbers; they get you to talk about stuff, then they tell the principal because they all want to be BFFs with her. The problem is, she's no one's friend. She's hilarious and seems nice at staff meetings and stuff, but one-on-one, I feel like she's very critical. I'm going to have to keep my mouth closed and just keep to myself at this school, which is hard for me to do. If I have to go somewhere every day, I want to be friends with the people I work with. But at least I have friends in the district I can talk to.
