What a great group of kids. It is easy to teach when they only leave you 8 kids to have in the class.
Gym class went really well. We made up a volleyball game and the boys played against the girls. Sorry girls, but the 4 boys won. We then played a game of secret agent, which involved a lot of running and dodging. They were quite tired in the end, but no one could catch Leanne.
Back in class, we worked on a word mine. A word mine involves taking a word, and then using some of the letters or rearranging the letters to make other words. We played with the word “Environmentalist” and students found between 70 to 100 words. Some students are still working on it, while others are feeling like it is time to draw. One student has found 150 words.
I’m still playing some jazz. The Entertainer, Linus & Lucy, Green Tea and Yama Yama Man got the best responses from the students. I think they liked Bang!Zoom (by Bobbie McFerrin), but they did look at me funny went it came on.
Pretty soon the day will be over, the students will go home, and I will get back to my office desk and read report cards or emails. Taking a class for a day has been fun.
Thanks Mrs. Korsch and Mrs. Pearson for letting me a guest teacher for a day.
Take care.
