Day 8

Today was pretty typical - at least for this week. We did our math rotations this morning, and I definitely was subjected to a third grader's cheese that they cut, if you know what I mean. I was trapped behind my kidney table, left to wither in the foul aroma. Oh, third graders.

Cursive went well, except that we're slowing to the pace of one letter a day. Science was really fun - we taped the kids thumbs straight with popsicle sticks and to their index fingers. Then, they had to try to do different tasks with their 8 remaining fingers, like write their name, cut a circle out of paper, etc. They had a lot of fun learning and although they were noisy, they were engaged the whole time and got the job done.

This afternoon I stayed until 5:00 with my teacher planning for next week. I'm off to write my lesson plans for next week - I have plenty of them since I'm taking over next week!
