My week:
- Discovered that I have students named EnvyMe--apologies for the earlier mispelling--and Arotica.
- Was given an impromptu kindergarten-sized back-rub today; could not stop giggling.
- Scared shitless in the hallway by three second grade girls waiting for me to come around the corner. All laughed hysterically immediately afterward.
- Forced to cover my mouth to keep from laughing at Quantavious telling a classmate to mind his business and subsequently calling him, "Shorty McShort Short."
- Learned how to spell one of my favorites' names: Adetekumbo Magbagbeoba (Ah-deh-tay-koom-boh Mag-bag-bay-oh-buh). Kumbo for short. He announced to the whole class today that they should be quiet because, "Ms. Traynor is tryin' to get her day started!"
- Given a Hello Kitty coloring page, just 'cause. It was already colored.
These are the things that keep me going. And make me forget--even just briefly--about all the other bs I'm dealin' with.
