Day 8: Still practicing
We still continued to practice for our Gingerbread Man play. It’s gonna be great when it’s over. The only thing I’m worred about, is that the day parents come the children will have a total 180 and not sing, just stare at me blankly. They’re kinda doing that as it is at this point. I did however bring in my keyboard today, and they really enjoyed playing it (banging on it) after. The teacher and I made a huge gingerbread house out of a tri-fold poster. :-)
Afterschool, the teacher has yearbook so I came in to observe that. I didn’t stay too long because I had to jet to my seminar appointment. Which btw, was a hoot. FU seminar, fuuuu.
Day 9: Cooking baking, cookie baking, it is fun….
Yes, today I was a chef. FML Does anyone realize how hard it is to make/bake cookies with 4 and 5 year olds. And it’s not like it’s one kid. There’s 5 of them. And they all want to mix with the electric mixer. It takes a lot of careful planning and holding down hands to do it. But we were successful, although they kinda tasted like poo. Maybe once they have the frosting on, they’ll be better. I HOPE. The parents will love them anyway, of course.
Day 10: Teacher Institute Day…
…kinda blows. It was so boring. I did learn a few things about IEPs and goal writing, and the guest speaker was amazing (I think I heard him speak before either in jr. high or HS, but it was just unecessary. And of course I didn’t speak up much cuz what am I gonna say? Make myself look like an idiot, no thanks. They did feed us (but it wasn’t great), but at least we got out early. :-)
Great job to me for successfully completing week 2 and getting a great eval!
