so today...

3 of my kinders peed their pants.

 

 

All within 3 minutes of each other. (That is NOT a joke.)

And less than 30 minutes since the last time they used the bathroom.

 

Let me just say that we take THREE whole-class bathroom breaks a day.

Each one of those breaks lasts 15 minutes.

So that's 45 minutes of my day that I spend AT THE BATHROOM!

Do you know how much I could teach in 45 minutes?!

 

And another thing! I've sent home MULTIPLE reminders that each student should have a change of clothes in their backpack just in case.

Did any of the three perpetrators have a change of clothes?

No.

So then I had to postpone my day by calling 3 different {angry} parents to tell them that they had to go home, get a change of clothes, and come and change their kid.

 

And that's pretty much the end of this ranting session.

Moral of the story: Don't  let 5 year olds drink water...like, ever.
