shuffling

There are always those special times in the classroom...something that makes that specific day stand out.  Ever watch that show "Kid's say the darnedest things", well it's true they do say and do the darnedest things...that brings me to my story:  I'm calling it shuffling..hah

So everyday I do a RTI group for 30 minutes.  I work with 5 boys...3 from my class and 2 from other teacher's classes.  Yesterday when I was working with my group..usually we work on different sounds...build words....and then we read a book usually containing the word pattern we were working on during the group time.  Since yesterday was Halloween..I thought that maybe instead of reading a book we would play a game.  So we did the sounds...built the words...and completed the worksheet and we proceeded to play a game.  The game is a card game similar to uno...called crazy eights short vowels.  So before I divey out the cards I start shuffling the cards....and I'm just shuffling them regular....nothing too fancy....and the kids were saying wow you are good at that!  I said...this is called shuffling....all of the sudden out of no where one of the boys breaks out into song:  The song by LMFAO called party rock anthem..i believe.  He's singing/rapping.."everyday I'm shuffling...shuffling..shuffling.." It was hilarious.  I couldn't stop laughing and the other boys started to chime in as well.  They are moving their hands as if they are rapping...it was priceless.  Next the same boy who initiated the song stands up and starts to dance around.  It really was HILARIOUS!!!!  It is moments like this that remind me why I became a teacher! 

Click the link to watch a video. ...the shuffling part is around the 3.40 mark..haha....I believe the dance he was doing is in the video...:D

Day 30:  Post a picture of something you are scared of:  Spiders!  I don' t know WHY I am sooooooo scared of spiders!  In my class I've been teaching the kids about spiders...and how they help us out by killing other pests that annoy us, and they are really more scared of us, blah blah blah...however...I am still EXTREMELY scared of spiders! Most people are!  

P.S.  I was going to post a picture of a real spider...however I am THAT freaked out...that when I seen the spiders in the pictures I started to freak out a little...haha...so therefore...a cute harmless cartoon spider will have to do...enjoy!
