Week 17

Merry Christmas!!! We had a fun pre-Christmas week.

This week I’m going to do a condensed version of my normal posts.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Special activities included: high schoolers reading to us, class Christmas party of opening class stockings and playing on the blow up obstacle course, school Christmas party of a movie in the gym with blankies and stuffed animals, field trip to Mountain View Elementary’s play.

Funny sayings from kids included: One day we had mac and cheese for school lunch.  As students were in line waiting to leave our classroom, somehow they all broke out in a chant saying, “mac and cheese, mac and cheese, mac and cheese.”  It was pretty comical.

Sometimes I will ask the person with the “light switcher” job to switch the light on or off by doing a clicking sound with my mouth.  (The sound is supposed to represent the flick of a switch.)  One time we needed the light off to see the projector and I forgot to ask the light switcher to turn off the lights.  Suddenly I found the whole class doing their best to make clicking noises.  It took me a bit to figure out what in the world was going on.

After saying, “What in the heck?” I was told not to say “the H word” anymore.

At our Christmas party, Mrs. Nebeker mentioned that the horns the students wore were unique because some of them were broken, causing one side to flop.  She said that each one was special, and they were “unique horns.”  A student said, “We’re unicorns?”  (Of course, she had probably never heard the word, “unique” before.)  What made it funnier was that the horns kind of looked like unicorns because there was only one antler instead of two.
