My day on the playground....
Today my colleague was out; so I was watching over her nine classrooms along with my fifteen. I was called out to the preschool classroom where I found a little one that was suffering from sand in his eye. I took a look at his eye and of course it was fine, but the teacher was sort of fueling the incident. With my quick thinking I thought of what he may relate his "injury" to. With a wet paper towel in his hand; I thought of a pirate patch. What a wonderful idea right? He thought that was the coolest idea ever. About 20 minutes later I went back by to check on him and he was so excited to show me how is eye was now. All better! Thanks Ms. Crissy for playing pirate with me. As an administrator/mentor for my teachers, please take a lesson from this. Think of something fun or interesting that is going to stray away from the dramatic episodes that we experience with our children. Make every interaction a learning experience but still fun.
