Tuesday! We woke up early for the first time in a while and
went to get breakfast at the school! We figured we should start doing things
like that more often and all, so… there we went. It took us a little while to
get started, but we figured it out okay!
They had dumplings for breakfast. And some other rolls and
stuff. It was kinda awesome. But we’ve gotten so used to not eating that early
in the morning, that we could hardly fit anything into our stomachs! At least I
thought so- and Katie was telling me how stuffed she was all through the day,
so that’s got something to it, right?
We headed to our office and chilled out there until we had
to teach our first class of the day. She headed off to teach her difficult
class- last week she even had Yoyo come in and help her out for both classes.
It’s been that crazy in there! Luckily for Katie, the kids are catching the
hint and behaved a little better for her then!
My class went well, also. We continued the game a little
more and then they drew part of Goldilocks story- they just had one square to
draw something and the results were hilarious! Sometimes she drew or danced.
Once, the bears came home to find her. Then there was another where she went to
the city and there was a storm…? I really don’t know, but the kids are pretty
creative! It was a lot of fun to watch!
Katie and I headed to lunch after. Unfortunately, there
wasn’t too much good food then. Which wasn’t too bad because breakfast had
really done a number on us, right? Except that the adorable cook chose the
worst timing ever to come see how we’re doing the food. And we couldn’t really
communicate. He walked around us, and left. Ten minutes later- just as we were
finishing up- he brought us a platter of other food!
We couldn’t do anything but say thank you, of course.
It actually made me kind of happy, to be honest. Katie
wasn’t thrilled, because after one bite she knew it was most definitely fish-
she’s good at sorting out some meat because I wasn’t too sure. All the same, he
had given us like 10 sticks of fish meat covered in what looked like buffalo
sauce but was not buffalo sauce. Something sweeter than that.
Honest, it didn’t even taste like fish. It’s just… good, I
don’t know. All the same, Katie and I
downed about three sticks each, and by then we were more than stuffed. Katie
tried texting Greg and Abby to come because we weren’t sure what to do about
the left overs! Try returning them to the kitchen? Leave them there? Dump them?
Give them away, what? However we were still on our own after a while and tired
of waiting. So finally, I said good bye to the yummy food as Katie handed them
off to two other guy teachers- they looked excited for them- and we headed out.
Katie headed home and I finished my book online and waited
for my classes to begin.
Grade 4 was more hectic than ever- I don’t know what’s
happened but they’re always talking and they’d been making phones with cups and
string and everyone was trying to play with them. I made a rule they couldn’t
have them out and definitely gave them some bad marks for finding them. It’s
getting trickier and I hate being mean- but I also don’t appreciate the whole
class ignoring me!
We got through everything okay after a while, although they
didn’t get a DVD. Grade 5 ended up being a little better, though. We went
through directions and things like that, and I tried to keep the kids from
fighting some more, and they were good enough for a short DVD at the end, one
of funny dogs!
I grabbed some water and headed back into the hall for my
final class! I had a boy come up to me as I went, from my earlier Grade 3
class. Pointing at the book I carried, he was saying it wasn’t cool, so I taught
him ‘lame’ for not cool. He stopped and said, “I am tall, you are short.” And
hey now, he is literally only up to my shoulders. I laughed and he repeated and
added, “I am bigger, you are smaller!”
Walking a little bit, I laughed a little. “How about, I am
smart and you are silly?”
He paused to think. “I am cool, you are beautiful.”
Somehow that works out? I don’t really know, but I’ll take
it! I thanked him through another laugh and headed to class! Which went pretty
well! They loved the game of finding things on my PowerPoint [by the way, I
have to tell most classes it’s the Teachers Computer, so they can’t touch but
that still doesn’t stop them as much as it should…] And we never even touched
the English book which I feel kind of bad, but hey, they had fun! And I was
trying to teach them words that were in the pictures, like Crown and Microphone
and such!
Katie returned for dinner and we tried to add more on our
plates even though dinner wasn’t too great, but we didn’t want the cook to go
out of his way to make more food or anything, it made us feel really bad! Well,
Katie felt worse, but I was trying [those fish sticks are tasty].
Shortly after, we headed home!
It took us a little while, but we eventually pulled out the
movie Anchorman. And yes, it’s stupid. But of course yes, there was a part
where I laughed so hard I cried and couldn’t see straight. But no, I don’t
think I’ll really watch it for a little while…hahaha….
And finally we went to bed, yay!
