candylandAhhh...just got back from dinner with the family. Don't get me wrong, I love my aunt and cousin dearly--Aunt Marie and I are like two peas in a "we think so much alike" pod. But at the same time, I'll be kinda glad when they leave tomorrow and we have our house back.
I taught today. Wasn't expecting it to get dropped into my lap like it did, but it went surprisingly well.
And I taught the kindergarten class today too--it went SOOOOOOOO well! Our song today was "The Farmer in the Dell." First I read them the book, and then we walked through it and I drew some lovely pictures of the various characters on the board--the farmer, the wife, the nurse, etc. I still think my dog looked more like a mad cow (mad in the sense of crazy), but the kids enjoyed it. Then we sang it with the recording (which was a little different from the book) and talked about how songs like that can change as different people pass them along and sing them.
And then we played a game with it :3 It was great!
Third grade learned "It's My Party" for their program. We were a little worried because at that age...well, a few of them are sort of in the "ZOMG THE OPPOSITE SEX HAS COOTIES!!" stage, but they seemed to love the song! For some reason, they thought it was hilarious when we explained to them that the girl in the song is so upset because her boyfriend was out with another girl. It was just a fun time all around :)
The fourth grade was...really off-the-wall today. REALLY off-the-wall. I've never seen my coop like that before--she was about ready to start spewing molten metal. And then we feel bad because any group punishments ultimately penalize the third of the class that's actually doing what they're supposed to be doing. Not trying to be sexist or anything, but...it's really the boys who are out of control *sigh*
But let's see...I need to finish those birdies (andby popular demand because I'm proud of them, I'll probably post a pic of them once they're all done), and get a few things together for the bulletin board in the classroom--I enjoy doing bulletin boards, and I think this one will be really cute :3 Plus, I should start squirreling away some plunnies for Lurker Day, so I can do my traditional "I'm a total whore for fic dumps, so here you go" post ^_____^
And tomorrow night is KINGDOM HEARTS NIGHT, WHEEEEEEEEE!!!
