Well it has been waaaaay too long since I last posted. It has been a crazy/busy/fabulous semester so far. However, it has been so so so busy that I have not had the time to post. This semester I am an assistant teacher in one of the preschool's on campus... and let me tell you there is NEVER a dull moment. I love my students, they seriously know how to turn a crappy morning into a fabulous day. By thinking off the top of my head I cannot think of any specific stories right now but I'm sure I will think of some later on and share them...
OK... Wait... I remembered a short one from my Emergent Literature (Lit. Methods) Class. So my Emergent Lit. class is doing a semester long project where we have a group of us that work with a group of 4 preschoolers doing Read-Alouds and other literature based activities. Lucky for me, I get to work with 4 of my preschoolers that I assistant teach with once a week. So as we are reading the stories to the children, we ask questions along the way, for example "why do you think that the character's unhappy" or things like that. So one of my group memebers asked the children, "Why do you think that owls do that" and one little spunky firecracker of a little girl answers (actually screams) "GREEN EGGS AND HAM!!!" Honestly, it was all we could do not to crack up, but we held it together somehow we do not know.

FYI
So I am an idiot and just realized the pictures I uploaded are HUGE! So click on the image if you want to see the whole image since they're cut off down the middle.
Mexico+Lettuce+Long Day of Airport Delays= Not a Good Thing
Well well well.... it has been quite awhile since I last posted on here. Not much has happened around here since we're still on break from school. Hopefully I'll have some more stories in the next week or so after classes resume on the 13th (after 4:00)... silly I know. For Christmas my family and I went to Cancun... It was a blast. One word of advice however, Do NOT eat the lettuce. You always hear stories of not drinking the water...which is correct. However, many of us forget that they just wash the lettuce off with tap water and that equals one bad situation in your stomach. I really should have listened to the guy on our shuttle to the resort because he warned us and I was so good about it until the last night. That night I figured I would have a salad because I was really craving one and I didn't see anyone else get sick... BAD idea. The next morning I was a miserable wreck. Not a good idea to be sick in an airport with many many delays. Oh well, I learned my lesson. Hopefully today I'll post some of my scrapbook pages for everyone to check out!

H1N1 and all Sorts of Germs
Last fall there was an outbreak of the H1N1 virus as we all remember. At the school we were taking great precaution to keep kids healthy and if students had symtoms they were sent strait home. Each classroom was well equipped with Sam's Club sized bottles of Germ X, Clorox Wipes, and tons of Lysol spray. I even had the little hand held size of Germ X hand sanitizer and a mini lysol spray in my playground bag (equipped with rubber gloves, band aids, and all those fun supplies) to make sure I would not get sick. One morning a little girl comes up to me and says "Guess what?!" (as I said when I child comes up and says "Guess What" that's usually not a good sign of what's to come) So I replied with the usual "I don't know, What?!" She then smiles, gives me a big bear hug, and says "I was sick last night..." "That's not good" I said. "Did you throw up?!" (since that was the bug that was going around) "Yup!" She said with a huge toothy grin, and then went on to say "I just threw up too" while she pointed to a spot around the corner where 4-5 little boys were standing staring at something in the dirt. So I got on the walky-talky with the nurse and janitor and had that situation cleaned up.
A couple of days passed and I began to feel horrible with flu like symptoms. So I go to the doctor and I have the flu (they thought H1N1 but never tested me because by the time the test gets back you're already over the hump of it) and they take full precaution and send me home with a face mask until my fever passes. While I am at home, sick. I am on facebook talking to one of the other kindergarten supervisors and she goes on to tell me that the same little girl who gave me a big bear hug after she threw up tested positive for H1N1... So much for taking precaution and not getting sick. The moral of this story, get your flu shot early on.
A Hysterectomy, I Presume
As teachers (or future teachers) you always know that it is not usually a good sign when a kid comes up to you and says "Guess What!?!" So one morning after the students came into the classroom one little boy comes up to be with great excitement and says "Guess What!?!" I replied with "What!?" the little boy begins to tell me, "my mom had surgery this weekend, but you don't want to know where" so I just said "OK, I hope she's feeling better?" (not really wanting to know where his mom had surgery at/on). So I turned around to go help another student and the little boy then yells "SHE IS! AND IT WAS ON HER UTERUS!!"
