Ohhh today was a GREAT day! Yesterday we learned about the Big Bang Theory in science class, which made them think about the tv show, so we listened to the theme song to dissect what the lyrics all mean. This morning, a few of the kids came in SUPER excited to tell me that they'd been rewriting the lyrics on the bus so it fits creation!!! They told me what they had so far and asked if they could work on it at school. "Sure! You can do it right now. Or even for Writers Workshop." "We can?!" They were even more excited. Then they had the idea to have the whole class sing the song. Then we had the idea to make a video of the class doing it! Then we had the idea to turn it into a class project!
So the start of our day was planning out this project. We nominated people to be lyric writers, a few screenplay writers (to turn it into acting), a few prop masters (to build scenery if needed), some singers and some actors. Oh man, it was all we could talk about all day. AWESOME!
In religion, we reread Genesis chapter one and the lyric writers took notes to add to the song. It was so good. So. Good.
Afternoon recess we went outside to play in the snow. Kids were skating on the ice and rolling in the snow mountain. It was great to see them so lighthearted and enjoying themselves so much.
Sigh. A great day.
