I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

One of the all time favorite songs in my kindergarten is the song about Little Piggy Farty:
Inside the pig pen there lives three pigs
daddy pig and mommy pig and little piggy farty
*oink* goes the daddy pig
*oink* goes the mommy pig
but the little piggy farty just goes *faaaaart*

Someone's got some real musical talent. I can hear the rhythm in that little tune just from reading it.

Maybe the “it hurts my back” part was a response to your original question.

My point wasn't that it isn't normal but that child drawings is ones of the ways I track kid's development in my profession. And it has kinda broken my brain because that's one of the things I automatically think about when I see it.

She loves the bed but I'm also gonna admit that I forgot exactly what I said besides "huh" that brought it up so I just made up an example. Like it was either the bed, dolls, or a new outfit. Either way I asked about it and it was established that it's somehow just that word, and the running theory is it's some game she's made up that no one else knows the rules to.

The bed is actually kinda amusing since my dad moved back in with them causing a bed surplus, so now instead of a little kid bed she has a queen sized Tuft n Needle or Casper that she uses like 10% of maybe.


Also yeah, that's a pretty nice drawing of a cat.

My coworker's 5 year-old paid us a visit and was telling us how much she wants a flying lion. She'd ride it to school, because there are so many stoplights and she could just fly right over them. But you can't ride it if it's not trained. She also left a drawing in the break room that has... I'm not sure if it's the flying lion's face or the sun, another face with angry eyebrows, a bunch of people that she told me were fairies, and on the right she wrote:

I FOOD
YUM YUM

I LOVE FOOD
YUM YUM

Edit: She's back, and the face is indeed the sun, and the angry eyebrows guy is the moon, who is "angry 'cause he's sad." Also one of the fairies is an "ancient butterfly queen" who "nobody has seen, except in ancient times." She explained this while alternately eating tortilla chips and taking sips out of a little cup of nacho cheese.

One unintended consequence of having a really diverse kindergarten is that the kids with non-muslim parents have begun to prefer halal-sausages.

drat near anything except pork, so you can get halal mutton, lamb, beef or goat sausage in my local Turkish grocery store.

They're pretty good, but that says more about how completely lovely your average mass-produced pork sausage is, especially the kind of bottom-of-the-barrel stuff they buy for child daycare and schools.

I'm sure the fact they are halal is entirely incidental and the kids are expressing a preference for what are probably quality sausages made by real butchers with self respect for their craft, as opposed to cheap mass produced factory poo poo from the supermarket.

We have actually gotten to the point where halal-products is also mass produced factory poo poo from the supermarket. I can't taste much difference between halal-salami and haram-salami for example.

We're doing a poetry unit. Some of the kids have been writing poems about/to each other and exchanging them, which has been really cute and a nice way to make writing feel like authentic communication.

One kid who I scream at literally every day wrote me a poem. "Mrs. Bravo. She is the best teacher. She lets us play games after math and she has a big heart." :kiddo:

I'm not going to stop screaming at him but I'm glad he doesn't appear to take it personally

Porpoise noise continues.
I ran the book fair all day yesterday and had no planning time (our school is run by insane people, so I don't plan until the day before, because literally ANYTHING can happen to derail my day. Ask me about the time I had to quick-change ten screaming seven-year-olds, one with special needs, from their regular uniforms to their dress uniforms, and literally run them across campus for a "photo opportunity" that didn't happen until forty minutes after I was told to get everyone there in ten minutes or less. Don't actually ask me because that's the whole story.)

Anyways, got up at six to plan classes. Get to school, and a random child who speaks absolutely no English is "visiting" my class! So...it's the day they have six classes in English...cool. Like, I've done it before, that's barely even an eyelid flicker of a problem, but I was left sitting with a great lesson for my regular students and now I have to suddenly come up with TWO HOURS' worth of independent activities for this kid. In Spanish. Not my best work, I'm afraid, and so when it came time for me to teach "Personal Development," I said "let's celebrate Earth Month by drawing on the windows!"

So, I break out the window markers and tell them they may draw ANYTHING as long as it's related to nature, Earth, or the environment.

Excluding the flowers, fish, cats, etc, we have:
5 volcanoes
2 megalodons (one with the word "MALO" above it; A1 really does not like Megalodon)
1 banana (that looks like a crayon)
1 lion (that looks like a flower enemy from a Mario game)
Queen Whatever from the LEGO Movie (shapeshifted into a tree, so, nature)
1 dragon (with horse hooves)
2 butterflies (one of which looks like a penis...I can't explain it)

...and the banana is saying "EEEEEEE" for some reason, but at least the Es are pointing in the right direction.


I am not changing a thing because it is perfect.
