Respecting the Smart Arsey-ness

Thankfully, the majority of my teachers respect a bit of smart arsey-ness. And they'd probably have to while working with me. That or beg to transfer to another school and that has happened much to my delight.

Yesterday, one of the Kindergarten teachers was playing a song and being silly with the kids during a rhythm and movement lesson. When she tried to show the students how to do the swim which is funny because have you ever seen how kindergarten students move? We love to have them skip just so we can get something to giggle about.. One student stomped his foot and crossed his arms. While the students were attempting to do some semblance of the swim (really, that move was quite butchered), the teacher went to Mr. Pouty to see what his issue was.

He whined, "I can't do this swim thing unless I have on my bathing suit."

And the teacher just looked at me with a BIG smile and said, "God, I love this kid!"

And this, this is what makes kindergarten so much fun!
