Line Time: Baby Animals- Baby animals was the theme for the week. We started out by what we call human babies (younger children). We came up with the term “kid”. We then discovered a kid is a baby goat and we should call human children, well, children. We went over the easy animals such as cats/kittens, dogs/pups, but went on with ducks/ducklings, chickens/chicks, pigs/piglets, manatee/calf, geese/gosling, peacock/peachick, kangaroo/joey.

Lesson: Interjection- An interjection is a part of speech that demonstrates the emotion or feeling. These words can stand alone, or be placed before or after a sentence. You’ll notice many interjections are followed by an exclamation point when excitement or strong feelings are present. When the feeling is not as strong interjections are followed by a comma and/or a period.

Line Time: We progressed with learning our songs for the International Festival and learned our lines for the show. I have to say the students ROCKED the International Festival. A big shout out to Kathleen and Ashlie for getting the students ready with he songs, lines, and craft. Also, I want to recognize Yao An for volunteering her time to teach the students to sing in Chinese.
On a sad note: This was the last International Festival my favorite and only daughter will attend. She started out as a first grader running around the auditorium handing out programs to unsuspecting adults. She did this until she became a teen and it seemed had less energy for the running of the laps. She since has attended to see the cuteness and food. For the next four springs she will be located in Bowling Green, Ohio/BGSU. Appreciate your children when they are actually children because before you know it they will be teenagers waiting to go to university.

Random Thought: There were a few things that disappointed me as a child and one thing was the misrepresentation or false marketing of cereal. For instance Grape Nuts. I expected a sweet grape flavored cereal and all I got was cereal that was hard as rocks and without flavor. Grape Nuts, right! More like Gravel Nuts. In the 1970’s Ralston create the Chex Mix line (Rice, Wheat, and Corn). They were marketed beautifully with vibrant blue, red and yellow colored boxes and pictures of plump blueberries, strawberries, and bananas. Then you tasted the cereal and it tasted similar to what the box they were stored in or what I imagined the box would taste like. The only remedy to stomach these cereals was to pour a half of a cup of sugar on the cereal. #tooth decay
See the below picture ant tell me what a six year old kid is expecting.
