Fist Bump!

I'm finally back to working today after the beginning of my week being spent in sickness! My job today was a first grade for the afternoon. I've subbed for this class a lot, so I remembered most of their names and I know who to keep my eye on.

There are actually a lot I need to keep my eye on! I don't have enough eyes!

Thankfully, there were actually pretty good today. Only used the angry voice 2 or 3 times which is GOOD for a couple of these kiddos.

Day was pretty simple. We shared vocabulary words (some project they'd been working on), did math worksheets, had inside recess and snack, read a Time for Kids mini-magazine and then I walked them to music and PE.

During the math time I was helping this one boy with his worksheet. He was getting really frustrated because he didn't understand these few problems at the end. I sat down with him and explained it to him. He's pretty quick and figured it out fast and finished them up himself. When he was done I said, "All right!" as I was taking his paper from him I held up my fist for some reason, then about to open my hand to give him a high five, but he just looked at me with his fist out. So I recovered quickly and he bumped his fist into mine and then we both "exploded" our fingers at the same time. He smiled impishly at the fact that I knew the proper way to do the fist bump and went merrily onto his next activity.

Going back tomorrow afternoon to the same class. Lets see how many other fist bumps I can give out....
