Q

Q is for Quick!

In my day to day world of working 
with my young friends I have found 
the need to be quick.

When looking up this word, I found 
two interesting definitions.

1. Moving fast or doing something in
a short time.

2. (Of a person) prompt to under-
stand, think  or learn; intelligent.

Now when I hear the word quick I 
think of moving fast.

We are quick footed--Sometimes 
we have to move fast to catch a 
runner or the child who has a 
different place in mind than the 
classroom.
Quick minded--Plans change, 
staff are sick children are absent. 
Plan B is always an option
and sometimes C and D may be 
used.
Quick witted--This is a hard job 
and we have a tendency to be more 
serious and forget to laugh and have 
fun. Laughter is the best medicine 
especially on a bad day.
We have quick reflexes--We never 
know how the day will go until the 
kids come in and usually we can tell 
who might have a rough day so keeping 
close watch to make sure things stay 
where they belong and not flying 
through the air is a must.
Also sometimes hands and feet are not 
always used appropriately so we watch
for those too.

Never a dull moment in our room.
