I subbed half day kindergarten today. I always get a little nervous when I sub kindergarten at schools I didn't do my student teaching at. Everyone has a partner teacher and when I don't know people very well I tend to be a little shy. Today wasn't too bad though. The kids were super psycho but it ended up working out just fine. I think it is really sad to see a student just starting out in kindergarten and he already refuses to do any work or interact with other students. I asked him to color a picture and he refused. I asked him to cut out his animal and he refused. It stinks to realize that a five year old already hates school. What is the rest of his academic career going to be like?
At the end of the day when I was about to leave the teachers turned to me and said, "You're so young... you remind us of what a real kindergarten teacher is... Us 20 years ago!" Hahaha I thought it was a funny comment to give someone. Anyway, TGIF!
