walkin with a rope


last week, we had a school-wide assembly for peace day, including all the jr high students from the farm school and all the little ones attending the montessori in redlands.  while we were walking to the assembly, i gasped when i saw the kids - LOOK!  HOW FUNNY!!!  THEY’RE ALL TIED UP!!!  then someone explained it to me, and i thought it was really cute the way they walked the kids over - what they do is have a rope with loops in it, and the students put their hands through the loop.  they can hold the rope, or just have their hand there, suspended by the loop in the rope, and they all walk together.  not once did i see any of the kids take off in another direction - they were all guided by this rope. it didn’t necessarily pull anyone along, i think it just slowly guided them.  they even had the 18-month-olds walking like this too!  it was such a simple trick, but it worked to keep all the students together.  amazingness…

picasso

nicole, chris, ellie, & courtney pose as a picasso painting
so today was field trip friday, and i planned a digital photo scavenger hunt for my students.  one of the items on the scavenger hunt list was to recreate a famous piece of art, and some of the students posed as “the thinker” while wearing halloween costumes in the middle of walmart (2 other items they needed to cross off their list).  however, i think this is my favorite pic of all the ones submitted - these four decided to re-create a picasso painting.

aren’t my students cool?

done with work

okay, so it’s already 5pm, and i’m still at school - grading and recording work! at least i’m done with 4 of my 5 classes that i teach, so i think i’m gonna call it a day and go home and take a much needed nap!!!

*sigh* the life of a teacher… class gets out at three, yes, but my responsibilities go way beyond that. i still need to lesson plan for the rest of the week! *sigh*
