Ms. Roeder

So since my last post I started teaching Kindergarten at Ocean Beach Elementary School. I am only a student teacher so its not a permanent position but I already love it! With a some what rocky start we are now in full swing. . .kids pee peeing their pants and barfing in buckets is now going on my list of qualifications on my resume. Within the first two days of school there were 3 "accidents" aka kids wet their pants b/c they were too scared to ask to go to the bathroom, my teacher would be intimidating to 5 year olds. Then the first time I have sole control of the class one kid decides to get sick thankfully I multitasked the situation and found him a nice trash can. I love my kids they are the best group ever. . .we have several english language learners which all present a unique challenge needless to say my 4 plus years of spanish are coming in handy aka I can manage 2 word phrases and hand gestures. One student said on the first day "this is kinda boring . . just a little bit" this was after he asked "Can I go home now?" I knew it was going to be a long year for him lol. Well I got some lesson plans to write but that is basically the day in the life of Ms. Roeder, for the most part ;)
