Well, I've survived through Friday after the week of break! I severely miss that ability to sleep in until whenever I decide to arise (somehow today I set my alarm for 4:00, but woke up at 4:30). Although my week was broken up by a trip to Oklahoma on Tuesday, I still feel exhausted.
Ronald McDonald came to our school yesterday for a "Book Time" Talk. Last year, Mr. McDonald presented on, of all things, physical activity. After the presentation, students were given a coupon for a hamburger. Does something seem wrong here? I can't believe we actually spent an hour of potential instruction time sitting in the cafeteria hearing lame book jokes from a clown. The kids loved it, though.
Last night I went to the board meeting (SnoozeFest), to be there for my friend as she accepted the Teacher of the Month award from our district. Before the presentation of the awards, the board showed a clip of a local news helicopter making a visit to another elementary school in the district. The enthusiastic pilot hopped out and was milling around the crowds. A couple of times, he had pulled students to tell jokes. Here are a couple of funny moments in the video:
Pilot: What's your joke, sweetie?
Little Girl: Why was six afraid of seven?
Pilot: I don't know. Why was six afraid of seven?
Little Girl: Because eight seven nine.
Pilot: And, sir, what's your joke?
Little Boy: Knock, knock.
Pilot: Who's there?
Little Boy: Squarel (that's what it sounded like)
Pilot: Square who?
Little Boy: No! Squarel!!!
Pilot: Oh. SQUARE who?
Little Boy: No! Squarel!!!
Pilot: What?
Little Boy: SQUAREL!
Pilot: SQU-ARE who?
Little Boy: No!!!!!! SQUAREL!!!!
Pilot: Let's move on...
Oh, live television. I THINK the child was trying to say "squirrel", but it's hard to say that word 1) when you're six and 2) when you have a lisp.
