I just realized that I'm almost done with this internship! Not cool!!
Today I did a lot of the cleaning and not as much of the with the kids stuff. Every day someone does that but this was the first time it was on me to do it.
Senior awards dinner tonight! Super nervous about that. I'm not sure why though.
See ya mañana!

June 10, 2013. Day 12
Today it's raining so work was miserable. The kids couldn't go outside so they were hyper bunches of crazy and didn't nap well.
My name is on the teacher thing! That is good.

June 5,2013. Day 11
What a day! Another Crazy busy one!
Today I worked in the infant room. It was a lot harder than all of the other rooms because the babies don't all take a nap at the same time. In my usual class there's two hours of "free time" During naps that we use to clean And make the room a safe environment. In the baby room however it is different. Each infant sleeps for a different amount of time, so there's always someone awake. I Did not like that I couldn't put Joey to sleep today because he is my favorite kid, but he is in the older class.
Tomorrow is prom! Yay! I don't have senior service at all tomorrow because of how my hours work, but ill see you Friday!

June 3, 2013. Day 9
Today was another crazy busy day!! Metro theater awards ceremony! We didn't win but it was an honor to be nominated!!!
On my Senior Service today I learned that, in order to be respected, occasionally we need to be down right mean. Today I worked for a short blip of time in the preschool downstairs and the children are outright nasty. I was covering while the teacher was on lunch and I was by myself, so I had no teacher validating my authority to the kids. They were HORRIBLE! It was nap time and almost none of them fell asleep when they were supposed to. I realized about 10 minutes in that if you threaten to write their name on the board, they will do whatever it is you are attempting to convince them to do quickly and quietly. They had such disrespect for me that it took several names on the board for them to realize that I meant business, but I believe that I finally earned their respect and that will hopefully help me tomorrow.
Signing off,
Angie

May 31, 2013. Day 8
Today was very very busy. I went from ecd to my internship to the DVD viewing of the musical to babysitting.
Story of the day from work:
Today, we turned our class of 13 toddlers into tribal people. We did so using sunscreen because it was 90 degrees!! During lunch and snack the kids all eat outside and they needed sunscreen! One little girl, Vanessa, seriously looked like she was in a tribe with the white streaks covering her arms and heads.
See you Monday!
