Today is one of those days when students have a difficult time settling. The grads got their hoodies, the first snow hit the valley, the senior girls' team headed out at noon for a volleyball tournament, there is still no heat in my classroom, report cards are due (but not yet published), and it is FRIDAY. I'm grateful that the 10th graders who were here this afternoon (all 5 of them) sang through math class. First they sang multiplication table songs they learned in elementary school, and then they sang "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" - in 5 part harmony! Some of the students even wrote numbers and letters on loose leaf to try to fool me into thinking that they were doing the assignment.
They forget that I was once a student seeing the first snow of the season on a Friday afternoon.
Life is good!
I love it! We enjoyed our first snow too...but my kids weren't as creative as yours! Screaming, shouting, running around, yes. Singing in harmony and even trying to make the teacher think that they were being productive...no way!
