The first TWENTY minutes of every school day I practice “play fighting” with one of my kinders… and teaching him how to walk away when kids say hurtful words to him. In order to practice this, I have the pleasure of calling him a “baby” and arguing with him about rules, fairness, etc. It’s actually way more fun than I thought it was going to be.
On Wednesday we moved from the classroom to first recess to practice our new skills… I had the most terrifying moment. 20 kindergartners CHASING ME… followed by me freezing… and those 20 children poking me all saying, “YOU ARE IT, YOU ARE IT!” Somehow I managed to engage in a game of tag.
One of my biggest teaching fears is kindergartners.
I only have one on my caseload (he has a behavior intervention plan) and I try my hardest to stay away from the little creatures. If you’re a kinder teacher and you are reading this- YOU ARE THE REAL SUPER HERO. How you do it, I will never know. Maybe you avoid playing tag at recess and that’s how you do it? I don’t know.
All I know is kinders keep randomly coming up to me and asking me to play tag…
Next weeks goal: set a rule about only playing tag on (insert ONE DAY)… I am terrified about what I have gotten myself into.
On a different note- Monday was super crazy and emotional and I have no recollection of what I was wearing… it will forever be a mystery! I’m excited to go into into today with a kinder recess plan and hopefully the final stage of a years worth of problem solving. Wishing you all an amazing week!
