Shortly after they all arrived in the morning and remembered who I was, they started requesting that I read them "that pig book" that I read last time I was there. Took me a minute to figure out what book they were talking about since they didn't actually remember it was pigs at first. Unfortunately, I didn't have it with me today. We ended up reading The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig instead which they liked (and which is now overdue at the library!).
In the afternoon we went outside to blow bubbles. Apparently it was "bubble day" in the classroom, or so they kept telling me. The teacher had it marked on the schedule to do that for 45 minutes, but they seemed bored after 20 and I was tired of supervising and keeping them out of the way of the older kids at recess and then keeping them away from the classroom windows, so we went in and I read stories.
The kids had PE and music today so my afternoon was really short and I had a huge prep period at the end of the day - I didn't even have to go back and get them because they got dismissed from PE. No relaxing for me though! I help the sub next door do a project the 1st grade team had left for her - glue 2 paper plates rim to rim with bottoms facing out, then glue 3 of these sets together to make a little tower. First she ran the glue gun and I put the plates together, then we switched. By the time we were done we'd made 65 plate stacks, and our hands were cramping from the glue gun!

How nice of you to help the next door sub. That sounds like quite the project. I can't believe that 45 minutes was set aside for blowing bubbles. Seems a little excessive. I'll have to remember to ask you what pig book they were wanting.
Love you!!! MOM
