Today was our last day at Christ King School for the next week, because the next three days are testing. However, we will be coming back next week to do the Green Eggs and Ham video. We practiced Green Eggs and Ham a few times before moving into Charades. This time, it was harder for them, because we had new phrases. They had a hard time figuring out several of the phrases. Both classes had a hard time "point to the wall". We then did "Herman the Worm" and "The Penguin Song", which they love, and we did the mystery bag. We used the same objects we did the memory game with yesterday. The kids are getting more used to us, so the boys are getting more rowdy.
The afternoon was another day for LuRue to rest up.At 5 o'clock, they went to SEAM and did more music and crafts. This time, they did not bring the guitar, but it didn't seem to make a difference. All the kids were still energetic and singing and dancing around. Today, with the crafts, the kids weren't as interested in the earrings, but more the bracelets and rubber bands. The first time we brought out the string to do bracelets, nobody wanted to do them, but now everyone wants to do them. We were happy to see boys getting interested in the crafts. When LuRue finished her bracelet, she asked Swathi about how to tie it correctly. Next thing we knew, Swathi was biting a button off of another boy, Arun's, shirt. LuRue tried to stop her, but she just kept biting it. In the end, Arun ended up getting the button back, because LuRue gave him the bracelet.
We came home to another delicious Domino's pizza dinner.
I want to see video of Swathi biting a button off of Arun's shirt! That would be exciting. Though, I'm not sure how getting a bracelet from LuRue causes Arun to get his button back. Must be eastern logic.
ReplyDeleteWhen Swathi couldn't physically pull off the button from Arun's pocket flap, she went for the tried-and-true teeth method, which eventually worked. Arun had to use scissors to remove the remaining thread from the button. The button was needed to finish off the end of the plastic bracelet which has four loose strands. Once the strands are threaded through the button holes, they are melted with flame or other heat source. Then the button is pulled through the hoop that started the bracelet in the first place. All very logical, of course.
DeleteThanks for the clarification. I thought it was just some random bit of mischief by Swathi! I was picturing chaos!
ReplyDeleteYes thanks for the clarification as I was confused too.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I looked up the words for "Herman the Worm" and "The Penguin Song”—now I can imagine you both teaching them to the students. Sending lot of healthy vibes to LuRue.
