It's funny how some high schoolers will catch sarcasm and others don't know what to do. I make jokes and nobody laughs, I act crazy and they look at me like this lady is crazy. At this point they are mostly quiet and just stare, I give it 3 weeks or less, then they will talk too much and will love my craziness.
All in all today was a great first day. The teachers did a mob dance at the morning assembly; which I helped create, once we have a video link I will definitely post it, it is pretty funny.
Next was on to my PE class of 6 girls (ugh to size) but when I got to the gym 3 more had joined the class, yay for PE!! Now we can actually play games.
Tomorrow we are doing an activity called "Me Boxes" where I will learn all about them, I find that it really connects my students when they find they have something in common with someone that they didn't even know before. It can be pretty entertaining as well.
Have a great night.
love you mary and so excited about your blog! I cannot wait to see the mob dance video- i bet its hilarious!! and the me boxes sound so fun!
