20 Things I've learned since being a Kindy Teacher

1. kids give no warning if they are going to throw up....they just throw up
2. if they don't understand, they still say "yes"
3. my children love to hug
4. teaching someone else's child how to pee can be awkward for both parties involved
5. a child can walk around with poop in her underwear and not say anything until an adult notices that something smells funny
6. my children MUST all go to the bathroom atleast once an hour to prevent "accidents"
7. if you have an ouchy you can guarantee that every student will also miraculously have an ouchy (even if you can't see it)
8. strawberry milk is the worst thing to throw up
9. projectile vomiting DOES exist
10. a hug from a child can totally melt the heart of a bitchy teacher
11. My students really to believe EVERYTHING I tell them, as long as they understand what I say
12. if a student can't speak English, he WILL repeat everything that you say word for word.
13. stickers are great for bribery
14. kids can be stubborn
15. sometimes its better to just sit down, put the teaching materials away and talk. Kids have the most interesting stories.
16. I'm the only one that understands how my children's minds work (sometimes I'm the only person that understands what they are saying)
17. locking yourself in the bathroom is scary for a child
18. they like my dress, my shoes, my hair, my pants, my eyes, my nose, my mouth, my leg, my earrings, my necklace, my fingers, my watch, my...... (that one is for you mom!)
19. 3 years old is almost too young to start learning English
20. I'm going to miss being a Kindy English Teacher......kinda!!
