The New JOB.......... :)

Well I started my new job. It was very hard to say good-bye to the old bunch of kids. Gulp. But, now I have started a new child care place and a whole new bunch of kids. Just today at lunch I was doing math with my table of kids. I held up fingers and added one side to the other. "Okay how many is this? (holding up four fingers on each hand). they counted 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. Great. I kept doing these counting games. Well we were almost finished with lunch and one of the kids says to me....."Miss Gail, I never had a teacher as smart as you." Oh man, that was funny. I have never been good at math, and he made me feel like a math whiz. Now I only have 4 and 5 year olds. So much easier. I use to have 2 1/2-5 yr olds. But the class I am helping has 20 kids from 10am-3pm. I even get to ride the bus with some of them. All in all it is going very well. I have worked 7 am to 7 pm the last two days. I am ok. Tomorrow I work 7 am -3 pm. And that starts my weekend. NO Fridays!!! Plus Monday is a paid holiday. Yippie, a four day weekend. I like this new job........Happy Weekend..and Go Bears.
