What A Day!

Well today has been a day. Today was our fall festival at school. We had things planned for the children to do and had plans for everything to run smoothly. Do you think things went smoothly?  Yeah right. Things never go as planned. I came to work and first off I found out that my co-teacher was not going to be at work today. That did not set the pace of work off well. Then once I found that out parents started coming in for the day. Of course Monday morning parents want to drop their children off early rather than following the rules and waiting. So we get passed that and are getting ready for the fall festival. The parents that were suppossed to be bringing me things did not and we ended up not having what we needed for our fall festival. Yay! LOADS OF FUN! :(
While the festival was going on one of my students had a block pop up and hit his eye and he ended up having to get five stitches. Of course I have to fill out incident reports and Metro office was at our place today and they were asking questions. Well we got through that incident but all the children were hyper because of getting to go to do trick or treating tonight. Nothing I seemed to do would calm them down. I was really counting down the seconds and minutes until the school day was over.

Have you ever been in that spot where you just want to throw the towel in? Well today was that kind of day. If I had a towel I would have thrown it in. :) Sometimes I really question why I do what I do. I ask myself why I choose to work with children on a daily basis. The only thing that I can think of is that I have a love for it and nothing ultimately can take that passion and love for it away. Bad days definitely are going to come just like they did today but I have to remind myself that I love what I do and there will be better days to come.

Best Wishes In Teaching!
