Sub Life

Today I was serenaded for two hours. Loud lullabies. Too bad I didn't have my coffee this morning because I was definitely dozing off. I was utterly impressed at their enthusiasm. These teen boys belting out some foreign lyrics! I am strictly a car singer, but these kids are the real deal. I was secretly hoping they would start some Pentatonix type singing or start some hardcore sing off like in Pitch Perfect. No such luck.

The dress code must be very laxed in this high school as I saw more belly buttons and lacy bra straps today than desired. FYI Leggings are not pants, hide your hineys girls!

Moving through the afternoon to teaching Spanish only more like they teach me Spanish. I butchered basically every word! Of course today's lesson had to be on learning body parts, it was like a bunch of 5 year olds giggling every time I said the word butt.

Ending out my day watching as a senior in an independant study class lead a group of the freshman chorale students. Bless her heart these kids would have rather been struck by a mack truck than belt out "Afrika". It was an hour long class of whispered wimpering voices. I sat back and wondering if it would be appropriate to paint my nails in the corner...

Living the dream teaching, teaching the youth one sub day at a time.

More than just snowmen

With a little food coloring and water in a squirt bottle the white snowballs turn into ice cream scoops. Daylan loved making the scoops and adding their flavors. We made a ice cream shop and 'tested' the flavors. the best thing about this is there is no clean up. What can do you in the snow besides sledding and snowmen?

pint sized kitchen cleaners

My little ones are the best kitchen cleaners around. They had so much fun cleaning the floor. My oldest thought it was fun to pretend the floor was a slip n side and my youngest loved explore a new tub of water not in the bath. I love including my kids in all activities throughout the day even chores. What do your pint sized cleaners help you with?

Sensory Bins

 This was Adelyns first experience with the sensory tub! Needless to say she loved it. This one is filled with beans and small rocks, a shovel, a flower, some clothespins , crayons and a empty fish tank. She loved to scoop up the rocks and put them in the tank. She played with the flower like a duster. She tried sorting out the paper from rocks. She even climbed inside to explore more. I can't wait for the next sensory tub idea to come my way. What are your tub ideas for March?

DIY owl pinata

made from a large paper grocery bag and tissue paper glued on! The kids loved hitting it and watching the candy fall out!

lunch time learning

Counting backwards from 10 is easily teachable when there is juice involved. We use measuring cups to drink from and Daylan was admiring how much juice was in his cup. He saw all the numbers and read from 10 down. Teaching him math has never been so easy! Now he can count backwards!
