It's TOOKY!

There's a new 3 year old "Dylan" in my class who is such a sweet boy. He's also a leader among the quiet younger boys/girls. They crack me up when they are playing fireman or monster. He's constantly riding the pole from the jungle gym being a fireman heading to a fire. Yep he's a pistol. Well his new thing lately is to say everything is "Tookey" *two key*. Tooky can mean anything from poop to good food. Yeah it's a laugh riot not. lol
Another fun thing he does is let the other two boys watch him poop they all think it's hilarious. Toilet humor at such a young age isn't it? lol

This past weekend and into the week I've been avoiding my computer because my eyes were drying out. Turns out that my contacts and my constant touching them were giving me an eye infection. I go to work Wednesday and my eyes are bloodshot! So I made and appoint and 450 bucks later I'm on my way to recovery!

This week was my co-teachers turn to do the scheduling. She is a bit lax in planning things to do for our age group, but the new system of one or two kids at a time seems to be working. I overplan because you never know if it's going to rain or you won't be able to cook that day hampering your time line. But we get along very well and I'm glad I got her as a co-teacher and not some of the other ones. Our both though anal, makes very good personality matches.

This coming week I will be teaching the kids about the 5 senses. Granted they already do all this stuff everyday, but it's still cool to find new things for them to explore. I wonder if I will be bored teaching them this stuff next year? I feel like I've already been through every prek book in existence so what else could I possibly do? I'm sure I will figure it out. I still have a whole box of papers I haven't explored yet!

We were low on children today so I took the extra child with me to make playdoh for next month. "Madison" is an angel. She told me today, "Ms. C I love you... in my heart". Omg how precious is that!??! She calls one of her grandma's by her last name and the other one is named "little grandma" lol.

I was also able to spend time in the "baby" room for the children 6 weeks to 18 mos. Some of the oldest ones are starting to walk and talk. They are so freakin adorable. I asked for hugs and got a bunch. One boy was hamming it up and kept giving me hugs since I kept saying AWWWW! So adorable.

Today was a fun day being a teacher.
