My job was to pull children out of the classroom 1to 2 at a time and quiz them on the information they were going to be tested on for the state standardized testing. I would come into the room and the teacher would ask me who I would like to take next. One day, the class was sitting as a group when I came in. The teacher asked me who I would like. I responded with 2 names. One little boy who wasn't chosen said, "I thought you would like me. I'm kind of funny."
While working with one boy who had a difficult time concentrating, I started to get a little frustrated and told him that he needed to sit still. His response was,"I'll try." His answer made me smile.
After I was done with quizzing the children, I let them spend a few minutes playing with me. They enjoyed it. One left me a sweet picture on the wipe board.
