We Need More Skinny Rhombuses!

I worked for the afternoon today at the same school as the last two days, but in a different classroom. I haven't subbed in this room yet, but I already knew some of the kids from the literacy rotations.

It was a pretty simple day. When I got there they were just going to recess. I picked them up a half-hour later and took them to get lunch. They had lunch in the room and I walked around talking to them. After I took them up to dump their trays we went right to music, and from there they went to PE. So I had an hour free to get ready for the next activity. When we came back to the room I showed them how to do an art project and set them loose. They were gluing "pattern block" pieces onto Christmas themed pictures. All the tables kept running out of the "skinny rhombus" shape, so I spent a lot of the time going around and fishing more out of the big bag of shapes and giving them to tables. They did pretty well, but were really noisy, and a few of the kiddos were not very nice to the kids next to them. Thankfully, by the time I was starting to get annoyed it was time to go home! :)
