I volunteered at James school this morning. I missed helping out the week before being in New York, coming back to a bit of normalcy was welcomed.
The class had a few Christmas projects they were working on simultaneously. Reindeer food, glitter ornaments, reindeer hats and each child who was working on a project needed help with something.

Today is a perfect example of what I call controlled chaos. We managed each project haphazardly. The class was busy with energy. Kids were gluing and cutting and glittering. More than once I was needed at multiple stations.
I hustled from one child to the next resolving their needs, to get them to the next self sufficient step.
The time flew by and before I knew it, the kids were ready for lunch and lining up. Whew!!! We survived and tomorrow would be easier, now that I knew what they needed we would get their tasks completed effortlessly.
Spending time with kindergarteners makes life feel a lot more manageable and a little more freeing.

A little glitter and glue can put a smile on anyone's face. If only all our adult tasks could be so simple.
