Today, I was needed!!! Not once.....not twice.....but three
times!!!!!!!!
First need was when one of the staff called off sick. I had
to cover her class for 30 minutes until our support staff arrived. I had a
class of my own for 30 minutes! Brought
back great memories of children tapping your arm to get your attention, not
sitting still for longer than 30 seconds, asking a million questions, having to
repeat directions over and over again, wanting a green pencil when they were
given a blue pencil....oh...the good times....the joys of being a teacher!!!
Second need was when a staff member called and said their
site needed trash bags....ok...so this need had nothing to do directly with
children....but I am happy to help keep the school tidy so the children can
continue to learn in a clean environment....
Third need....as I handed off the trash bags to the staff, I
noticed that Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwhiches were on the menu for dinner.
One of the students is allergic to peanuts and there was not an alternative
choice....sooooo.....in my car I go and I head over to the nearest grocery
store. However, the store does not sell sandwhiches.....sooooo.....to the deli
counter I go......"Excuse me sir, I would like two slices of lunch meat
and a slice of cheese." I picked up a loaf of bread on the way to the cash
register.....back in the car to the site.....and a few minutes later a
sandwhich is made!
Those 3 needs are 3 of the many reasons I love my job!
Carpe Diem!
Amy
