What a week this has been!

It didn’t start off too well this week. The twins who started in my class this October have absolutely no  desire or inclination to behave. They are so spoiled, they have no idea what the word “no” means. Monday they disrupted circle time to the extent that my TA had to chase them around the room. Tuesday started out the same and I also had to join in the chase. At lunch time the boy laid across the table while we were trying to serve food. I picked him up, put him at a back table and I sat down to eat with him. He promptly took a mouthful of spaghetti and spit it at me. Later on in the day he did a lot of screaming and also ran out of the room three times. I told the nanny not to bring them back until the mother comes in for a conference, which won’t be until Monday because she’s out of town.(Yay.) This is the same mother who didn’t come to our Mother’s Day event because she was getting her eyebrows done. She sent the nanny instead! Hmmm, can’t wait until those kids are grown!
Yesterday was a quiet day. In the evening Sonia, Fouad and I went to a basketball game. The Unics played a Spanish team, so Sonia was all excited! It was actually a very good game and Kazan pulled off the win although Malaga lead for the first three quarters.
Today was a good day in school. Next Tuesday we have to put on our Christmas performance for the parents. We are acting out the gingerbread man. We had our second to last practice today.
The kids are really into it. They sing the songs when we are out on the playground in the snow! As a tie in, we made the dough for gingerbread cookies today. Tomorrow we’ll roll out the dough and bake them. And the two boys who stood in the bathroom and kicked at each other while washing their hands won’t be cutting out any cookies. Tough luck. Oh, well.
Tomorrow night I’m going to a Beatles cover band with the bosses and Paul and then Saturday we have our big school end of year party. And Sunday we’ll be ice skating. I’ll be reporting.
