Two video clips from carpet time in Ian's Kindergarten class with Ms. Braun


So today was interesting in Ian's classroom! I was there a little earlier than normal and watched them during carpet time. They were going over the 'it' word family. So, kids could raise their hands and give a word with 'it' in it. Keep in mind that the class has been working on blends like "sh and ch"...so yes, Ian was called on and guess what word he told the teacher? SH----IT!!!!! Yes, CAILEAN'S SON swore! However, Ian had NO clue he had just said a swear word. A bunch of the kids were laughing and telling Ian that he swore and then looking at me to see what I would do or say. I remained calm and pretended he didn't say that word and didn't want to make a scene. But, he didn't get it at all! So, the teacher covered it up and said that he said SPIT. Oh boy!!!!!! But, I know that Ian was thinking, "No, I didn't say SPIT. I said ____." LOL UGH!!!

I had staff meeting this afternoon and I was given an award for going above and beyond with work in our program. The staff was able to nominate people in our department and give a brief summary to support that person. I guess a few people submitted my name, so that was neat. I was very, very red! Normally, the award is announced at the banquet in April...but guess who missed the banquet this year??? Yes...ME! We were at Disney! So, they thought it would be a little weird making the announcement knowing I was not there to receive it!

Ian had a soccer game tonight and played great! Go SHARKS!
