I Forgot the Title

I had a very clever title worked out for this post as I was thinking about my day on the way to my car after school today.  I have since forgotten it.  Hence the non-title.

Today was much more enjoyable than yesterday.  The kids were mostly well behaved and good listeners.  They just had the typical "it's Friday and I'm in second grade" stuff, but that seems so nothing to me now.

Oh!  I remember the title now...it was going to have something to do with today being Friday the 13th and how it wasn't that horrifying...it's actually not that clever after all.  I think I'll stick with the non-title.  When you hang out with 7- and 8-year olds all day you start to think of yourself as much funnier than you are.  They laugh at anything.  Funny voices.  Saying things like, "I think my brain fell out!". Making goofy faces.  Everything.

Yes, I did actually say I thought my brain fell out.  I've been finding myself tongue-tied a lot this week.  When trying to give directions or something I just keep tripping over my words.  It's frustrating!  To avoid embarrassment I make fun of myself by saying to the kids my brain fell out.  They enjoy this.  Makes them laugh.

I'm using a lot of partial sentences in the blog today, which is such a bad example of writing!  I guess I could justify it by saying it is a purposeful mistake used to create a unique writing style that mimics the stream-of-consciousness thoughts that I'm having right now.  Plus I've seen it in books so it's not against the law of all things written - it's a style!

Anyways, I taught a lot of heath today - two lessons, twice.  This class and the class next door trade teachers/classrooms halfway through the day.  The teachers then teach the same subjects from the morning to the afternoon class.  I also facilitated a math assessment (short little one).  And then, because I'm pretty much the coolest sub ever (or so they told me) I let the classes have a little free time.  Heck, it's Friday, they were good, and I couldn't put my thoughts into words anymore so I thought we all deserved it!

Oh yeah, and this is my 70th post! Yay!
