The all school outdoor recess the Student Council had planned for today was a bust since the snow is all melting. Miss H (preschool teacher/faculty leader of Student Council) planned a scavenger hunt for them to do instead. The only catch was, she wasn't here (had to be to her other job at 1:00). So we kind of had to figure things out on our own.
One of my 6th graders twisted her ankle in the mad rush to collect the items. Kids were running all over the place. They were supposed to stay with their groups, but a bunch of them split up, leaving group members behind. And then the bigger kids made the littlest ones put all the items back. Still, it seemed they had fun. The top commodities in my room were the Dr. Seuss books, Narnia books, and marbles. Afterwards we put on music in the gym and had a dance party and hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was served a little too late, so kids were rushing to gulp it down before getting on the bus.
We had our first Christmas program practice at church today. Not enough room on the risers. I don't know how we're going to squeeze all the Sunday school kids in too! And then I had to figure out when/where the shepherds, wise men, and angels should enter and exit. I really hope the kids with speaking parts are remembering when they come up to speak, because I have no clue how I could cue each of them to go where they're supposed to. Good thing we still have one week of practice left! It will all come together; it's just going to take some work. My kids know their speaking parts pretty well, and the songs are coming along nicely. So, we'll keep plugging away!
