I mainly teach at a 5th-8th grade middle school. However, there are so many classes at the elementary schools that the elementary teacher can't teach them all. So I teach a third grade class at one school and a pre-k class at another.
Last Thursday, the day I go see the 3rd grade class, the time I was there was the same time as the school's dress rehearsal for their winter concert. I arrived in the middle of the kindergarten's set. After they finished, I walked over to the other music teacher and the school principal to ask if I would still be there in time to see the third grade perform.
When I reached them, I realized they were gazing behind me. I turned and saw a custodian heading over to the risers with a mop...towards a puddle on the plastic. Guess one of the kindergarteners got nervous. The music teacher grinned at me. "Aren't you glad you teach in a middle school?"
I didn't have the heart to tell her that only hours earlier, the principal at the middle school had called an emergency faculty meeting five minutes before homeroom - to frantically remind the teachers that some children in the school still believe in Santa Claus.
