They never cease to amaze me! My little turkeys have material for me everyday! I can't believe I didn't start this blog sooner. Again, usually in the mornings...
Every morning they write in their journals. I give them a prompt on the board. Today's prompt was..."At recess I like to ______________." They copy the prompt and finish the sentence. For some, this is like pulling teeth. For others, this is a great thing, they do it quickly, and nicely and are done. N-dogg (you can read more about him here) doesn't get a lot of work done. He is Mr. Social and tends to go to the bathroom a lot. I think he is just checking out his hair but that's neither here nor there. Today was a breakthrough!!!! PEOPLE, you need to understand that when a child does something for the first time... it is more like MIRACLE! I can almost here the gospel choir singing...HALLELUJAH!
It's the same version they will sing at my wedding...again, neither here nor there.
N-dogg walks up to show me his work. I always have the children read it to me as I can't always read their writing and offended is a word that works well in that situation. The conversation went something like this...

N-dogg: "Miss MegPie, I am done!"

ME: "WHAT?!?!?!?!? I mean, great! Can you read it to me?" (sometimes they can't)

N-dogg: "At recess I like to meditate."

ME: "Oh really N-dogg?"

N-dogg: "Yes, really!"

hmmm...

I too shall try meditation on the playground...he may be on to something!

Meditation on the playground makes me happy!
