This class was an extention of the last one about building trust and confidence. We had a great time gluing puppets together.
They were seriously having the funniest conversations and were generally a little more wired than the last class. They mostly just wanted to pretend fight with each other using the puppet as a weapon - good thing they were soft!
Then we tried something new: peeling apples for snack. They were determined, but it's a hard skill to master!
We practiced singing, "Spring is Coming" and read, "When the Earth Wakes" by Ani Rucki.
It's so funny how their conversations start one place and end up in an entirely different place! Has anyone noticed a general shift toward bathroom language when they get together sometimes? Suddenly it seems they are obsessed with poop! I don't mind if they talk about in general terms, it's only when they call each other bathroom related names that I ask them to stop.
So after I asked them to stop (because they think it's so hilarious), Elise started out like she was going to quote that song, "We never hit or kick or push," and instead said, "We never... (pause) poop on the ground."
Then Ethan piped up, "One time when I was eating breakfast, a dog pooped on the ground... in a stadium!"
Then Ches got really animated about a rocket ship that took off from a stadium!
I thought it was funny. And that was just one conversation.
