Did you notice?
Yes, I changed my blog background yet again. I feel it needed a little something...a little help...a little pizazz...something a little more 'grown up' and perhaps classy.
Today, I had my first TOC (teacher-on-call) job of the school year. Teaching music all day. Ha.
I was literally mobbed by a group of kindergartners who all wanted a 'high five' from me after I taught them a song that included a 'high five' in the actions. It took a while to settle them down.
I was asked if the picture on my teacher ID was a picture of me as a baby. It was taken in May.
Slightly surprised, I asked "Do I look like a baby in this photo?"
The Kindergartner replied, "Well, you're hair is darker."
"What color is my hair now?"
"Blonde."
Yes, thank you summer sunshine.
I was completely dumbfounded when playing a game with Grade Two's. Three different pairs of students, who were suppose to have their eyes closed (and were also facing a wall), managed to correctly guess who the student in the circle leading actions was, within 3 seconds each time. Seriously...I thought I had an eye on them the whole time to make sure they weren't cheating...how did they do that?
The Grade Four's wanted to call me "Miss J'. I also thought that was cool.
I managed to still appear more intellectual that a sixth grader. Thank goodness.
I think I can do this.
I also ran over a frog today. How does a frog not move out of the way of my giant wheel? Still...I was surprisingly crushed. My jaw hung open for a while after I saw its' flattened little body growing smaller and smaller in my review mirror. Opps.
