First grader swallowed the errant tooth (or maybe he lost it in the lunch room, who can say?) I called mom just to let her know. Mom said that two teeth were loose (I only saw one socket). Kid was worried because all his friends said Tooth Fairy doesn't come without a tooth....
And I wrote a note to the Tooth Fairy so the kid wouldn't be sad. Nobody warned me pre-K- first are so darn cute.
Cleaned dog poop off a shoe. The teacher did a “drop and run” with the kid.
I also created a tube of glittered healing ointment guaranteed to take away all hurts. It was actually just Vaseline and glitter but it worked like a charm.

I used them on the “it hurts” areas. That is, the areas where student didn’t bump, fall, or injury in any way. But they still expect you can take away that random hurt on the back of their finger!!! For some reason the “growing pains” explaination was not working!!!!

Wow, I'm mean!! I Just ask them what they think I can do about it/What would you do at home, and usually they shrug and I say, you got it... I can't really do anything about it, so you're going to have to just deal!
I just got a phone call from what I thought was a parent.
She asked "how far do you go with shot records?"
I said "A complete record?"
She said "I used to be a student there and I now have a job in health care and need my shot record"
I said "how old are you?"
She said "42"
I said "Oh, bless your heart, let me get you in touch with someone that can help you. You need to say I am an old student in my city's ISD and I need a copy of my shot record, however, I am 42. Let me know if they were able to help you!"

No, not mean at all!!! I was in a huge school with a needy population. The “it hurts” were becoming overwhelming. The teachers would say, “I can’t assess” so every little ache would be sent down to me. I got tired. They wanted me to do something. So I did something. ? They got glitter kids.
Not so much the cleaning of the muddy shoes but what he said.
Little KG boy walked in with mud on his shoes from the bus stop. He dead eye delivered,"I have to get this damn mud off my shoes 'cause Brookie isn't having it."
I replied, "Well, Let's get this mud off."
I did not want either of us suffering the wrath of the Brookie.
