The Happy Teacher Mask

I had forgotten how good Friday feels, really feels, until today.

I had my first week with students this week. They are good kids but engaging 10 year old boys who can barely read and write is challenging.

Keepng one step ahead in order to head off small boy meltdowns is extremely challenging.

More so on a Friday afternoon.

I had to keep reminding myself I was the adult in the room.

I had to keep reminding myself I am almost 4 times their age.

Then I felt worse.

 All I wanted to do was this.

But then I remembered it was Friday.

It’s all good.

Even better  since a good friend told me that tomorrow is Saturday.

Happy happy joy joy.
