Local Kindy Class

Today I got a chance to sub in a full day kindy for at-risk students, I was surprised that there were only 15 students.  Then I knew why.  They were hard kids.  In the morning, they were working hard but after lunch their real self came out. Out of the 12 in attendance that day five were super hard. They were making inappropriate noises, messing around, loud and boisterous.  The aide was especially helpful because she knew the kids and knew what they were capable of.  IT was nice to be recognized by the aide and the secretary for my 'amazing' work. My approach was I knew they were high so I needed to be calm. By the end, candy bribes also works. This was a title one school and poor. Really  just a good school with kids needing lots of love, who might not otherwise get it at home.
