This last Saturday Micah received a text asking if we could substitute the 5-6 year old class.
I've always thought it would be so fun to teach Primary. I love kids and what fun would it be to attend Primary and teach a lesson to sweet kids. Right?
Micah and I prepared for a fun 5 year old class. Got all the coloring stuff and since the time of the call we could not get treats (which I think would of helped the class).
So we go to Sacrament feeling pretty good about ourselves.
We go to Primary and apparently we were early, you could tell we were first timers. They showed us to our row and the kids came in slowly. Cute little boys sat on our row and we were so happy.
Primary was about to start when the 2 trouble makers make it to our row. One yelling, "I don't like new teachers, I don't like NEW TEACHERS." She then ran to her mom (I think). One sat down to me and loved to tell me everything about her. Later, in the same hour the girl came back to the row ready to give me a hard time for the rest of the hour and the next. She ran around the primary acting so crazy. Then she yells, "I need to go to the bathroom." So I followed her out, it looked like she wasn't planning on it but knew she had to because I was following her. While in the bathroom she was not going to wash her hands, to me that is NASTY. So some how I talked her into it, and there she was playing in the soap and water regretting my wants on her washing her hands. (But glad she did) I gave her several warnings nothing really worked. She then replies, "I need to wash my hands really good because I have been picking my nose." Well then glad she washed her hands even more. I tried to race her back to the primary class....that didn't work she just said, "I hate when people do that, they just make up silly games to try to get kids where they want them." ..... (my response to her)
We finally made it back into the Primary class and boy was it rough as she continued to run around the Primary room.
We then went to the classroom, these two girls were crazy. But I think we handled the situation great. We tried to get them involved and I think they enjoyed it. The other kids were so great and I appreciate their cuteness...because after dealing with those two kids I didn't want kids, but then I look at the other 4 they were great, and I think my kid could be that great. (in the future)
Hope you had a great laugh from our experience. :)
