I feel sorry for the 1st grade teacher/saint at my daughter's school. I just filled the kids in her class with Munchkins and juice, read a book and then left the teacher to deal with the aftermath. (Math? Not today, Teacher! So sorry!) The kids were bouncing off the walls. How was I supposed to know that if you fill up their tanks with sugar and then read them a book about animals that they would think it was their duty to imitate the monkeys, hyenas, and ring-tailed lemurs?! No wonder they have bars on the windows.
I tripped over a duck-billed platypus when I made my escape. No joke.
Oh this is funny, I am sure the teacher/saint appreciated your help Mary.....hopefully there wasn't a lot of time left in the day....Hugs
ReplyDeleteA talented teacher would have them all act like snails or turtles or sleepy animals to settle them down.
ReplyDeleteBernie,
ReplyDeleteAnd after school this teacher goes home to five young kids of her own! The gates of heaven will fly open for her :)
Mary,
ReplyDeleteI bet snails or turtles would have been easier to teach than these kids!
This was too funny! Thanks for the smile on my face :)
ReplyDeleteMary, you are 2 funny. This was a great read Thank you. Needed it.
ReplyDeleteStyle Attic,
ReplyDeleteThe children are excited because it's the last week of zool. Oops! I meant school!
JBR,
ReplyDeleteAnd I was so proud of my daughter! She only ate 1 donut hole at school and didn't even meow (her favorite animals are cats) until the kids lined up for library!
The teacher said that they have been like this all week. It's because this last week of school the class is celebrating summer birthdays so the parents have been coming in with treats. My daughter was so cupcaked out that she asked me to bring in Munchkins instead. Munchkins have the same effect as cupcakes, unfortunately.
This is hilarious! The teacher might be going nuts, but I bet you had fun! :-)
ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteYes, I had a great time! The kids love when parents come in :)
