"If you've gone potty, wash your hands and come get in line. There is no reason to stand there and watch the urinal." as said by a first grade teacher getting kids ready for lunch. On Halloween.

It was a good day. I am glad to be home.

Said so calmly while lining children in the hall. There are no doors to the hallway, but the room is configured so it is private, but can be checked quickly.

We have so many little kids in our school, there is always something new.

Taking care of kiddos that age is like trying to herd kittens. Or chickens.

@wolfgirl569 Of course you get the same effect with young teens.

I can’t imagine the things teachers have to say, and overhear in school.

That's right. All those memes online about preschool and kindergarten etc. are actually true.

Yeah. I just kept on walking. It takes a special teacher to work with the really young kids.

Me too. And our calendar was set so that we are off November 1. So immediately following the sugar rush of Halloween we are having the "fall back" of the clocks.
