We did have a comical moment at the end of the day though. One boy brought in this catapult that he made out of a milk carton, pencils, a spoon and rubber bands. He also brought some mini marshmallows in hopes that he could demonstrate it to the class. At the end of the day I had him come up to try it out. We set the garbage can about 10 feet away as his goal. He pulled the catapult back and released the marshmallow. It was clearly going too long to hit the garbage, but that little mallow was not to be discouraged. It hit the back of a chair a few feet behind the garbage can, bounced onto the seat of the chair, and off that into the garbage can! The class erupted in cheers and hollering that I'm sure what loud enough to be heard at the other end of the hallway. One other student exclaimed, "That was AWESOME! You're like Michael Jordan!"

I have a confession...My name is Rhonda, and I've become a lurker. I know the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I have chastised myself for poor blog etiquette and will endeavor to comment more often, never again to fall into the trap of lowly lurkiness : )
I think I need a marshmallow catapult thingy for the boys, sounds like fun!
Hugs, Rhonda
I wish I could have seen that fantastic shot. I'm sure the kid told that story at home. I am amazed that the name Michael Jordan came up. I thought maybe he was too long gone from the gang for that age.
Love you!!! MOM
