GO Team!

Tomorrow I get to be observed by the principal again. He's coming into my E.L.L. Social Studies class. This is the group I get to have the best connection with(and not only because I see them for more than 30 minutes each day). Every morning these kids are asking me to sing. I'll admit, I started it. The morning announcement end with : Have a _________ day. And some of the days have been "zippity do dah," "supercalifragilistic," "groovy," or "snappy." And to help explain the word I have sung snippets of songs that have the word. some days, I draw a total blank. Snappy had me demonstrating snapping my fingers and singing a bit of "Fever." (From a PBS pseudo-commercial). So tomorrow, we'll be dressed in our team t-shirts (team international) finishing up the discussion on citizenship week video of the day, and then working on the "This land is my Land" project.
The project has the students studying about their home countries using the five themes of geography (location,place, regions, movement, and human and environmental interactions). So there will be some chaos and only minimal teaching. The best kind of day for me! But not too sure how observable it is. oh well, this was on the schedule, so not changing it now.
