Laughter at School

School was hilarious today. We played a game where we taped pictures of vocab we had taught the kids before the break to the walls, divided each class into 2 teams, said a verb + noun (i.e. swim in the sea), and then they would race to the picture and act out the verb. Well, “B”, one of the big girls in 4th grade had a false start from the front of the class. When we told her to come back, she quickly turned around and without any help fell with a huge thud on the ground. Not too long after that, she was being loud and Carrie kept telling her to be quiet. She wouldn’t, Carrie got fed up, and pretended to hit her lightly on the head with a stick. If only it hadn’t actually hit “B”…Carrie cracks down on the kids. What can I say?

In 5th grade, one of the boys who didn’t want to lose, but didn’t know his verbs or nouns would follow hit opponent to the correct picture and then begin to act out a plethora of verbs at once.

Then in 6th grade, after saying “swim in the sea”, I saw a girl act out swim, so I pointed her out and almost said “no point” for the team, but I suddently realized that it was one of the younger kids that roams in and out of our classes sometimes. How brillant that she understood the word “swim”.

We gave stickers as a reward for the winning team in each class. Thanks mom for sending these motivation materials!
