Life as a teacher!

Well, It has been a long long time since I was on here last! I have been teaching for 2 months now and I love my job! The kids are great and they make me laugh every single day... yes the job can be stressfull and alot of work, but at the end of the day all you can do is sit back and laugh about what the kids did or said.

So lets start with the Conner stories, one of my most favorite kids, 2nd grade. Conner has said some of the funniest things. We were sitting reading group and he had his hands in his pants and I said Conner you can't do that at school, and then we were fine I thought. A few minutes later, dear sweet Conner had his hands in his pants again. I said Conner that is not ok, you can't do that with your friends around... this is what I get back mid hand raised ( we have been working on shouting out) But Mrs. Stobbe I don't like it when my penis sticks to my leg!!!! I almost died of laughing and some did the other kids in our reading group. Needless to say we have had a talk along with other teachers telling Conner what is and not ok to say at school.

Then I have Brady, also 2nd grade. Loves to dance and tries his hardest to River Dance.... which is so cute and hillarous! In first grade I have another Conner who is in space half ... no 99% of the time. He is a sweetest boy but just has a hard time concentrating, so to fix the problem another teacher can up with the idea to put a kitchen timmer in front of him and give him 20 min. to do his work at a time. So here his sits chewing on his pencil tell it freys, and the eraser is gone, asked him what happend and he said he ate it. He has his work out in front of him watching the clock, sits stares realizes time is moving freaks out in his seat and works, and does it again and again. Which watching him just makes you laugh so hard. But needless to say all his work gets done and the pencil gets eaten!

I will keep you more up to date as the stories unravel!

My Best!
