Teamwork

Working in a daycare means that that the teachers work together.  Doing the work together to make sure everything runs smoother and the job can get done.  The way our center work is that we do looping.  We get the kids for two years and then they move on to a new teacher.  But we don't stay in the same classroom, they switch to a different classroom, but they are still with their friends and teachers they had in the first year.  Last year before summer vacation, a teacher came up to us and said "Once you clean the outside toys, put them in the bag and store it in the classroom.  This way it is one less thing to do. And we will do the same in our yard."  So we spent the whole last week before break to do just that.  Yesterday we came back from break and started to get things ready, only to find that they didn't do a single thing both the outside and inside.

Lucky that we had a lot of staff people to work on outside and we were able to get inside all cleaned up in two days!  Now we are finished and tomorrow is the first day back for the the children.  I have a feeling that this year is going to be a pretty good year.  Both the rooms seem to be able to work together and getting along.  Which would be the first time since the one master teacher in the other room is impossible to work with.  But I don't think we have to worry too much about her anymore and just have a good time with the kids!  I have a feeling that this is going to be a good school year! =)
