I got to experience what is like to be a kid for the rest of the year

I’m a preschool special ed teacher. 2 of my students are coming back on the 14th after being quarantined for 2 weeks. I was their primary person during quarantine and we had so much fun.<br><br>I never realized how often I talk until I had to entertain 2 kids with no academic work to do. I sang, I danced, I read the same books 5X a day. I had to be creative with playdough and when that wasn’t enough we played with real dough. We made cookies, I took them to the park and for walks around the neighborhood. I even took them to the library (curbside and in the car of course) and read them 10 books a day! I never thought I was this fun of a person lol. <br><br>Now I’m back with the rest of the class and they want me to be just as fun and I’m just not. I’m tired. I want to sit with a group of kids and just have an academic conversation like I’m used to. I don’t have the energy to be this much fun anymore. <br><br>I never realized how much adults have it easy.
