It seems that this week every single one of the children are acting up
Everyone has thrown the rules out the window and no longer listens. Even my own child is getting in trouble at pre-k!
What in the world is going on?!?!?!

me too! Today I wanted to rip my hair out by the end of the day!! Spring needs to come so we can get outside for longer and wear off the excess energy!

I am going to balme it on the weather.. right as we were about to go outside we had a huge hail storm and had to come right back in. the kids are all going crazy. we even did double the amount of wiggle time and dancing as normal. I also allowed running around in a circle for almost 15 min...... saying that the kids are all nuts today is an understatement...lol
i cant wait for the weather to clear up, I even want to go outside!!
rain rain go away.....lol yes Im bored.....all kids are sleeping now....

When that happens to me, I place each of the kids around the room in different locations away from each other and give them some books and tell them it's "quiet time" for 15 min, they need to read quietly, and when the 15 min is up they can get up BUT they MUST follow directions and follow the rules or back in "book quiet" time and longer each time. If someone isn't being quiet during book time they still have to sit quietly with their books longer while the others play. It works for me and only twice have I ever had to put them back in "book" time. Maybe give that a try. It seems to settle them down and break the cycle.

I am positive it's the proto-spring-like weather we're having here. It's making everyone squirrelly. I've been trying to get outside for a reasonable length of time for two days now but things keep getting in the way; I'm not in the habit and it's going to take time to get to that new routine. Maybe tomorrow everyone will have shoes...

I'm in Saskatchewan, Canada lol. I have parents that expect me to take my whole group of daycare kids out in this crap...um...no! lol I think I need to re-locate our spring will not start for another 2 months
Also -23C is nothing...we get days that are -40C or more here and it can last for weeks on end.

Eh, despite the Springish weather we're having here, I half expect to pay for it by having a blizzard in March. It's been known to happen...

For as dumb as this sounds, as I am so over winter and ready for spring, I want one more blizzard, or at least a good snow so I can get my 16yo ds out driving in it before he gets his license. He lost his permit so he wasn't able to drive for the last few months, and I didn't get him another one because he was positive he could find his wallet and permit, but couldn't so I finally told him if he wanted to get his license he had to get another permit and start driving again!Eh, despite the Springish weather we're having here, I half expect to pay for it by having a blizzard in March.

LOL! I was just outside and looked up in the sky. Thought to myself, full moon, no wonder the kids were crazy today!! Mine were very much misbehaving. I have two 2yo boys and one of them is new and apparently trying to establish dominance. I thought he had achieved that last week, but apparently not, because he was doing the same things today as he was when he first started here.Full moon. It always brings out the crazyness!
