Real Stories from the KG

Each day I will try to post a new story from my day as a KG teacher. I guarantee all stories are true. Most stories will be about my students and the things I deal with. Other stories will be about administrators, curriculum, and the parents of the students. Like I said, all stories are true....but students names are fictional!

Tyler and Shayla are following the class to our special for the day. (Special is music, art, PE, computer). Anyway, Tyler and Shayla are at the end of the line and somehow, going down the stairs, they manage to lag behind. The next thing I know, two other teachers are bringing these kids to me because these two kindergarteners were engaged in a "passionate kiss". I ask the kids why are they kissing, and they just respond, that they don't know. So, I call Tyler's parents and his family informs me that he sees his older brothers (older being 13 years old) engage in that activity at home and he is just replaying it. The parent doesn't see the harm in kindergarteners kissing. I can't call Shayla's parents because they don't speak English, but I do know that her parents are going to be pissed off.....not because she was kissing, but because he isn't from her ethnic background.
