It's mostly fun. We color and play and read and try to have as much fun as possible until they go home. There are only eight kids in my class. One is part-time always and two have dropped to part-time for summer, which is a huge improvement from six months ago, when I had 11 kids and 10 were full-time. I love the kids in my class, but it's just frustrating that some of the parents just let them do whatever they want at home, so they don't learn how to behave at day care. And even more frustrating is the parents who let their kids sleep in, so they don't want a nap and don't know how to be quiet so their friends can nap.

But it does come with cute stories sometimes. Like there was only one kid left in the 1s and 2s class, so he came out to play with the big kids on the playground and he kind of attached himself to one of the kids in my class and she was delighted to have him following her around. She went down the slide with him and they had a good time. And she introduced him to the sandbox, which his class isn't usually allowed to do because of the high probability of them eating the sand. But since he was the only one, I directly supervised him and he had a blast playing in the sand table with her.
