February 8: A fourth grade class is out in the yard to practice a coordinated dance. The opening beats of “Baby Got Back” blared out of the sound system.
February 9: My students won the prize of watching a movie with popcorn. They all complained after we voted and decided on The Incredibles, including the ones who voted for that movie. But when it came time for some students to leave for dance practice, they got upset about missing the movie and didn’t want to leave. Those left over crowded around my laptop instead of watching the giant projection of the movie and proceeded to talk through the entire thing, periodically yelling questions to me from across the room about what was happening in the movie.
February 10: We just found out that Nick’s parents use our Netflix account instead of paying for their own. So that’s fun.
February 11: Salt & Straw had a seasonal flavor called Happy Birthday Elvis, which is banana coconut ice cream mixed with jam, peanut butter fudge, and shaved coconut treated to taste just like bacon.
February 12: The journal question was to answer how you are different. Joanna answered that she was different from her brother because he has a mustache and she doesn’t.
February 13: I glanced over the snack table and caught Dora’s eyes. She immediately plastered a smile on her face and promised that everything was fine and nothing had gone wrong. I have never been so scared in my entire life.
February 14: The trash cans overflowed with Valentine’s Day candy wrappers and cheesy cards, whole cupcakes littered the hallways, and a raccoon stalked the playground while there was still light out and almost attacked Melissa.
much love,
