sunflower day

Yesterday was the first day I worked up a sweat teaching numbers. I did the 10 little monkeys jumping on the bed. Yeah that was a hot one because I really got in the spirit. So today I have only one class of 7th graders, which is alright. She was not at school. I think she feared for my well-being if I was in the 8th and 9th graders. They have no respect and would have eaten me alive. GOOD thing I didn't teach. But I did have my first sunflower class. I had an absolute blast. He was soo funny. We practiced fruits and veggies. I introduced some new ones he didn't know and then played a game where he had to remember the order of the items I said. I got up to 5 with him. I made him close his eyes and put his hands on his head so he couldn't cheat. He was pretty darn good at that. I found out that he likes Simon and Garfunkel. Next week we are going to sing Song of Silence and translate some of the harder words. He likes to sing and I happen to like Simon and G.

I taught the nurse and janitor today of the fruits and veggies. They knew most of the but forgot eggplant. I am cool with hanging out in the teachers room and chatting with the secretary who is my age, nurse, and janitor. I looked over today to see what the nurse and janitor do all day. They fold origami. Man what is worse, being on the internet emailing and posting blogs or origami. Both are pretty fun in my book.
