Naturally, even our journal prompt was relaxed. "Write at least 4 sentences about anything you want!" Ever wonder what's on a second grader's mind? (If not, you should. Kids are hilarious.)
The following are the topics that the kids wrote about. (Sorry I don't have any exact quotes, I left my laptop in my dorm :( Seriously a sad day.)
- Being the school pe teacher
- Aunt visiting
- Diamonds and iphones
- American girl dolls and world peace (I am totally not kidding. She said something like, "it's the best thing that all good people should wish for." Someone's been watching too many Miss America pageants.)
- Dreams
- All holidays and months of the year
- Colors
- Grandma's farm (written in letter form)
- New house
- Kirby's Dreamland
- Trip to the store (to buy cat food and eggs... from my boy who always talks about breakfast food)
- Pizza Hut
- The second grade teachers and how nice we are (Truth! Two kids talked about it!)
- Family (There are 8 pepoel in my family 1 is a dog.)
- Sleepover with a friend
The kids also had pe, an extra recess, and a spanish lesson today. They truly were spoiled. They were also incredibly adorable and excited to have spanish! Because of our weird schedules, we hadn't had a spanish lesson in about a month. Today we worked on conversation words and phrases. Nothing too hard, just your general hello, how are you? what is your name? I also taught them the phrases, "Que pasa calabaza?" and "nada, nada limonada." (Translation, "What's up pumpkin?" and "Nothing, nothing lemonade." Cute and pointless, just the way I like my lessons (KIDDING). But really, they are adorable when they say their newly learned spanish words. It just tickles me to see their excitement. Spanish is a great way to end the day, my week, and my blog!
Hasta lunes!
Peace, love, and espanol,
Jayna
