My morning started off as normal. I headed outside with Ms. B to pick up our class, the one with the perfect line of girls and the not-even-close-to-perfect line of boys. As we headed in, I took up the back end of the line, only to be stopped by a student who couldn't move forward. Turns out one of our "perfect" girls had helped him tie his shoes real tight... together. *Giggle...
He just stood paralyzed as the class went on, and I quickly attempted to untie the very tight knot she had tied and tried to push the giggle and laughter out of my mind (especially because the assistant principal was looking over my shoulder inquiring the reasoning behind the knot). I felt a bit bad as I explained to the girl that it wasn't appropriate to tie someone's shoes together. Her only response, in her sweet, innocent, scared voice was, "I didn't tie it that tight." She obviously doesn't know her knot-tying powers... It was pretty tight (or I'm just not that good at untying knots). My real question was, How did that student not realize his shoes were tied together?
Through all the craziness of the end of the week, I forgot to share a compliment Ms. B and I received on Friday from our principal. She commended us on our abilities to team teach together as well as we do after only 2 weeks of sharing a classroom. We were both thrilled to hear that we (rock!) stood out as team teachers! The more and more we work together, the more I realize how lucky I am... I never truly enjoyed team teaching. From past experiences, it seemed like I couldn't fit with others that well in the classroom - we always had enough differences for it to be awkward and a bit frustrating. With Ms. B, I don't really feel any of that. Mostly, I just feel thankful that we randomly got interviews with the same school, happened to get hired on the same day, and ended up sharing the same classroom!
O and one other happiness to my Monday: Got my first Pay Check! Wahoo! Unfortunately it wasn't in directly deposited, so I need to send it off to get deposited, another week before it makes an appearance in my bank account. My checking account was getting really sad ($31 sad - Good thing for my husband!) Now I can start to make it happy again!
