Spy’s First Kindergarten Mission
In quotations are Spy’s exact words.
Sigh.
Ready?
Today, the kids “on the list” in Spy’s Kindergarten class lined up to go to speech therapy. Spy was curious, bored or perhaps both – so he got in line.
No, he’s not “on the list”.
Yes, Spy left his classroom in disguise. And he did it so well that he made it all the way to the speech therapy classroom and was participating in the exercises before discovery.
“Why? Why did you want to go?” I asked.
“To see where they were going. The teacher there has a whole jar full of lollipops and she has stickers.” Pause. “But Mrs. C. was mad. She was looking all over the school for me.”
Yes indeed, his teacher was not happy. But ultimately, Spy was located and returned to his classroom before he was able to obtain a lollipop.
But he did get his sticker.

Oh. No.
This is hilarious, but as a teacher, it made my heart skip a beat. The teacher must have panicked! I hope the principal didn’t get mad at her. Mine would have flipped out.
Still laughing though. And very cool sticker!

Oh, and just wondering. What was the disguise?

I completely understand her panic. This is the kind of behavior I was worried about when I first put him on the bus. I was worried he’d choose to go elsewhere. Disguise? As a speech therapy kid…
And while the story may be funny, he also got in trouble and there was much discussion here at home.
