I have…
- Cleaned up a mysterious pee puddle in the girls’ bathroom (in front of the shower, nowhere near a toilet)
- Instructed a girl to “come back over here and wipe [her] loogie off the outside of my trash can.”
- Called the clinic to see if we can get a health aide to do a talk on basic hygiene while a child puked in my (other) trash can
- Called said kid’s mom because he puked in my trash can
- Asked Geoff to give the aforementioned kid a ride home because his mom had no fuel in her machine
- Sent more than half the kids in my class home sick, most on foot
- Wiped down all of my desks and chairs with bleach
- Wheeled a chair out of the room because it smelled like someone had pooped on it
- Arranged for someone to have a talk with the stinky-bottomed child
- Administered a state standardized test
Update (3:30 pm)
I have now, in addition to the previous items,
- Taught two kids to play Dominion
- Lost my temper with an adult (understandably, I think. It’s been quite a day)
What a day. Brilliant. Love your blog, Keely.
