Late last night, a woman in my sisters ward called to ask me to sub her kindergarten class. Um. Do i have any sort of credentials? Of course not. Makes perfect sense for me to be molding young minds, wouldn't you say?
Little 5 year olds for 6 hours? No problem. It was actually pretty fun and I must say i am a natural Kindergarten teacher, minus the gray hair, wooden bead apple necklaces, and grandchildren. I think mainly because of my extensive training from Kindergarten Cop. I was THIS close to doing the exercise "who is your daddy and what does he do?" but we ran out of time.
The day first started with a bright and shiny red-head saying "Teacher! Matt was saying ass today before class...." ahahahaha oh the joys of tattle tails and naive children. I laughed on the inside and ignored such comments on the outside.
Later we were doing math problems that turned into a puzzle you cut out and color. It was kind of confusing for the kids but i knew they could do it.
me: its hard i know, you have to use your mind AND your motor skills.
cute kid: (totally serious) I think you mean my Ninja skills.
Oh....did i forget to mention that its a Private LDS K-8 School? So basically its a glorified home school. Maybe even slightly weirder than home school. But with adorable uniforms. And yes, those are President Hinckley caricatures colored in by youngsters. And I know what you're thinking, and yes, President Hinckley does look good blond. And also as Elton John.

Oh yes that is awesome. I haven't even played "who is your daddy and what does he do" yet. Tomorrow writer's workshop replaced by...WHO IS YOUR DADDY AND WHAT DOES HE DO. This is going to be great, thanks for that reminder.
I bet you were a rockin' kindergarten teacher Shauna.

Ha ha ah, Elton John... Before I read it was an LDS school, I was like..Elton? That was the hardest I have laughed all day, thanks!
Hooray! That was hilarious. You are a great blog post writer. I bet you were absolutely wonderful with those kids.
They have a private K-8 LDS school?! Where? I laughed out loud to your references to President Hinckley...

Awe, i think you'd make such a good kindergarden teacher. I love the pics of Pres. Hinckley, I like the Elton John version!
I was beginning to wonder what kind of school would just let anyone substitute (not that I wouldnt trust you, but you know!). "My dad is a gynecologist, and he looks at..." (from kindergarten cop- you remember the rest of that line)
Shauna,
I'm so glad that you found me, stalk away. And I loved what you said about private lds schools being weirder than homeschool!
How fun!
haha! That is so funny! Wow, sounds like an interesting school. But, I bet you were the BEST teacher. Those kids are probably wondering where Miss Shauna is today.
