I'm having one of those weeks where I just love what I do. I'm teaching sequencing and found some great activities to make it more fun. When the primary kids arrive at my class, I go out in the hall and tell them a monster has gotten into my room, and I need their help figuring out what it did and where it went. They squeal in delighted fright and cling to each other as they tiptoe around the monster footprints taped to the floor. They see that the closet door has been opened, and stuff is all over the ground. A desk is tipped over, and there is just a path of general chaos. The footprints end by an open window. This leads to a discussion of what the monster did first, second, etc. The kids get so into it.
With the older kids, I begin class by telling them that I'm starving, so I'm going to make myself a snack. Then I proceed to make myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but I do it all out of order and look like a complete crackhead. Finally, I hold up my crazy looking sandwich and say, "I need help," and try to look as pathetic as possible. Some of the classes actually think that I am this stupid. It's pretty funny. This, of course, leads to a discussion of sequencing.
Other than that, nothing interesting is going on this week. Well, there may be a little time for some Halloween stuff:
Monday- Class
Tuesday- Meet with trainer, Bible study
Wednesday- Practicum, maybe go see Paranormal Activity
Thursday- Title 1 Meeting, DAR meeting, Trails of Terror
Friday- Haunted Tour of Prairie Ave (maybe)
Saturday- Hiking at Mississippi Palisades State Park
