Malicious Monday

What a horror! I know that there are going to be off days but seriously…I had absolutely no control at all. 12 kids for the first time…it was a Monday…I was the only one in the room (I often have an assistant now)…they all had speed for breakfast…take your pick of excuses as I don’t know which one might be right. There were toys all over the room—legos (normally stay close to their corner), cards all over the floor like a flower girl walking down the aisle, kids running and screaming…even during group time when I usually have control even for just 3 minutes—nothing. Couldn’t get them to sit down or sing songs or anything. No tears though so I guess that is something. My new student must have had a good time as he gave me an enthusiastic wave goodbye and said see you tomorrow.
