Mouse, Motorcycle and Bingo

This afternoon I was in another first grade class. I read a really long picture book to them that their teacher left, then started reading a health handout before we went down the hall to the first grade class that I subbed for yesterday and watched a movie!

They were all watching The Mouse and the Motorcycle and it also happened to be my movie! Yesterday I was talking to the teacher I was subbing for before she left and saw they were reading the book, so I asked her if they were going to watch the movie too. She said she wanted to, but hadn't tracked down a copy yet. So I told her I had a copy and I could bring it to her tomorrow - little did I know she decided then to watch it tomorrow! Good thing I remembered - she sure trusted me a lot to come through!

Anyway, the kids loved the movie, which was no surprise. Then we went back to our room and played Bingo for about a half hour until they had to get ready for PE. Thankfully, the time went by pretty quickly, as a few of my charges were not at their most cooperative! However, the PE teacher proclaimed to me how wonderful they were for her - best they've been for a while she said - I guess I just used up their store of orneriness. :)

Way to save the day with the movie! I used to love that video. I'm glad your Friday afternoon went pretty smoothly and the kids were cooperative for the most part. Enjoy the weekend!
Love you!!! MOM
