The preschoolers loved my green-themed day. They played with the toy garbage truck. They snapped green beans. We collected trash from the other classes and rolled it outside to the big green garbage cans and dumped it in. And they listened with rapt attention to Green Eggs and Ham, each yelling out that they would not eat it either.
Dennis earned three stripes on his Taekwondo belt tonight. He will earn one more stripe and then test to move up to his yellow belt. He's very proud. And we're proud of him! The rest of his behavior today was less than desirable. At lunch I told him to stop touching Ryan's thermos, and as he looked me in the eye (defiantly), he reached over and touched it. Infuriating! He knew how angry I was, so when it was naptime, he dragged his Kindermat over to the floor space right beside the table and chair where I'd planned to work on my lesson plans. He said "I'm going to sleep over here next to you so I won't get myself into any more trouble." It would have worked if he'd managed to keep his hands off the table legs and the trash can! He told me tonight that he thought the devil was making him act bad and he was going to pray for Jesus to help him be good from now on. Isn't that what we all struggle with?
