Little Stanley Ion Jr loves his bad teacher.

We are going on 10 days straight of bike rides with Stanley.  I absolutely look forward to my daily bike ride, even when I'm tired and don't want to work out I just go for a bike ride.  I can 100% say that buying Stanley was the best 92 bucks spent here.  I found some great areas to go around and can get around the city pretty well now.  Also I burned 3500 calories last week just from my bike rides with Stanley.  It is the first time that I have made my calorie burn goal on my heart rate monitor and now this week I have an awesome little trophy on display!  Love it!   Thank you Stanley!

Now on to bad teacher.....So today I had the kindergarten class as my last class of the day.  They were playing with the hula hoops, doing different activities and then I told them to freeze and sit down in their hula hoop.  They are all spread out in the room in their hoops and when they are sitting criss cross applesauce I call them to bring me their hoop and get a drink of water and sit down.  Once they were all sitting down I called them up one by one to line up at the door and go up the stairs into the canteen to do our next game with scooters.  I hand out all the scooters and the students start playing the game and then i see the gym door open and little Jasmine comes walking out of the gym.  Mai (Vietnamese co-teacher) and I ask her what she was doing?  She said she was waiting for her name to be called. 

OH MY GOSH I left a child behind in the gym and she totally sat there through me call all the students two different times.   I always try to have my back to the wall and clearly I need to do a better job.  I am horrible, poor little girl.  She just stayed in there when we left.  Sad thing is when I had them sit in their hula hoops I remember seeing her behind me, but she never said anything and I totally forgot.  I lower my head in shame (with a slight grin).  Geez!!!
