So I tell myself every Wednesday night that the next Wednesday is going to be different. I’m not going to stay up late trying to plan a lesson. I’m going to change and plan the lesson over the weekend or during the day on Wednesday. However, around came Wednesday night and it was 11pm and I had no lesson, so naturally I got on fb (facebook) and looked at some photos and talked to some friends and then I got on skype and started talking to my Dad. I told my dad about my struggles on trying to plan a fun and exciting lesson and something that's not boring, and he suggested the Hokey Pokey. At first I wasn’t sure but then I thought I could do a lesson on the body parts and BAM I have a lesson. So along comes Thursday and I’m feeling good and happy about the lesson. So I’m there printing the lyrics off in the teachers room and then I have to cut them into 6 pieces, they have this huge cutting thing, I think you all know it. It makes a really loud noise and cuts huge pieces of paper with straight lines. So there I am cutting it and before I know it I have cut off part of my scarf. Sometimes I just think I’m not made out for this teaching stuff and I was hoping this wasn't going to foreshadow my day. Luckily my black scarf is only missing a few tassels and the Hokey Pokey was a huge success. The kids and the teachers loved it, by the end of each class I was sweating cause I was moving so much in each of the classes, but the kids really got into it and even some of the teachers. Thanks Dad for the great suggestions. I am currently taking any suggestions for my next Thursday classes, feel free to suggest or write my whole lesson plan. Lol.
LOL, I laughed at this one Jen as I can imagine my brother, your dad, suggesting this one. What about "The wheels on the bus" song?, or "100 bottles of beer on the wall"?
