My goal for tomorrow is to not react in anger or get so frustrated that I have to walk away at work. I teach preschool and will have 16 four year olds tomorrow (only had 10 today). I have 2 assistant teachers, but one is often more problem than help, and she is the only one around during the craziest part of the day. It's very easy for me to forget they are 4 years old and get frustrated. Tomorrow, I will try to enjoy the kids and not fall apart in the process.
Just a note, I want everyone to know that by "react in anger" I do NOT mean hitting or anything at all inappropriate like that. It is really an internal process that probably doesnt show much (if at all) in my interaction with the children. It just tears me apart inside.
