Shehoff speaking.
I. am. sooooo. exhausted. Such a long day at the elementary school! But it went really well. I tried a lot of new things that were a lot of fun (and involved a small amount of failure and correction), and actually helped kids learn! Imagine that. :)
So we did the puppet thing the kindergartners today (what Hoff has been helping me work on for forever). The point was to get them to realize they have a head voice and to talk/sing in it. It was wonderful! I bought this big shaggy dog puppet to start things off. The kids talked to him in their head voices like he was a real person and hugged him and were saying things like, "Please come back to our class, Fillmore!" and one girl even told him she'd pray for him tonight. Haha.
My advisor observed me teaching 6th grade today, and it went pretty well, so I'm excited about that. The kids were extra extra extra good today. Before class started, I heard one girl say to the kids around her, "Shh! That's her school teacher! Be good!" and I smiled. Another girl wrote a song for me. It was really... err, interesting. :)
I love kids. I love teaching them. Quite possibly one of my favorite things ever.
That's all. Have a good night!
