first day of work today! i worked as a teacher’s aid for a incoming first grade classroom. it sure was interesting.
the class seemed nice at the beginning. just lots of the quiet, cute ones came in first. then as the day progressed i could tell that this was one class to handle. two of the kids were freaking loud & did whatever they wanted to do. i’d tell them stop, they’d stop, then they would resume. alot of the kids were like that later in the day. i dont remember being this crazy in 1st grade. they were funny & cute, but so annoying later. & when i walked the kids to lunch recess this group of girls that weren’t even in my class came up to me. one hugged me from behind & another grabbed my hands. & one of the girls goes, “will you play with us?” i just told her, “i would, but i have lunch right now.” she still grasped my hands. & she asks, “who are you?” i tell her my name is mary, but she can call me miss pham. she asks one last question: “do you work here?” i say, “yes, but i really have to go now. i have to eat lunch.” she finally let go of my hands, leaving me with less than 15 minutes for lunch. rawrrrrr. i didn’t even get to finish my double cheeseburger. hahaha.
i wonder why that group of girls picked me? they came up to me later during afternoon recess & asked for me to play. i agreed & just watched them climb the monkey bars. XD
