We have a late Christmas break this year. While we don't start break until Thursday afternoon, we then do not have to be back to school until January 8th. I think I will enjoy the start back time but truthfully, I am ready to be done RIGHT NOW!
I love my job, I love what I do, and I love my students. But the never ending, "Ms Koeck......." lately is doing me in and I am ready to wave the white flag of defeat.
This was the list today(and I must add that these things are said at the MOST random times).
"Ms. Koeck, look, I have my own hand sanitizer" (as a bag of mini hand sanitizers gets shoved in my face."
"Ms Koeck, one time I went to Let's skate and I wiped out."
"Ms. Koeck, I got this pen at Funspot" (as a bendable flower pen gets shoved so close to my face that I have to back up just to see it.)
"Ms Koeck, look what I can do." while balancing a backpack on top of the head.
Which led to
"Ms Koeck, I can do this." balancing the lunch box on the head.
"Ms Koeck, I need a paper." To which I respond, "I'm sure if you would just wait 0.2 seconds the paper passer will put one on your desk." (OK, I didn't say that...that is what I felt like saying).
And, my personal favorite from last Friday...as we were cleaning out desks, "Ms. Koeck, I found a pretzel in my backpack."
Class----Ms. Koeck has changed her name!!!!!
