Craziness

First thing today was chapel. Mr. De Nooy introduced all the new students, then introduced me, we sang some songs, then he talked for a bit. He started out by bringing out a bag and he told the students that he had the most powerful weapon on earth in there. The first answer was the Bible, by about half the students, but when he said that it wasn't, he opened the doors to the minds of elementary kids. Some thought there was a poisonous snake in there, some thought a gun, or a grenade. The kicker...and the one that everyone laughed at was when a little 1st grader guessed a light saber. It was hilarious. Anyways, he pulls out a tongue...of a cow. It was massive, and messy. Of couse you can't have something like that without wanting to drop it on the kids in the front, and he pretended to. It was alot of fun.

Anyways, yeah...today was alright. I "taught" 7th grade science, 8th grade science, and 2nd grade P.E. The first two...no problems whatsoever. It was when I got to the 2nd graders that I thought I was going to lose it. Didn't go very well at all. Oh well, you do what you can. I guess next time instead of just 2 min of running I just have them run for, oh i dunno....the rest of the day. Then at least they'll sit and be quiet.

Me: "Alright, I need everyone to drop the parachute and take two GIANT steps towards the wall."

A good 90% of them did exactly that. It was the two kids that decided that going under the parachute and running around underneath it that was the problem. So...when everyone else saw that it looked like alot more fun to be under the parachute yelling and screaming than standing 5 feet from the parachute being very quiet, I was speechless. So I pulled the parachute off and told them to put their shoes on, we were done for the day. Nazi. That's right, Matt's the P.E. Nazi. At least for the second section of 2nd graders.

So long everybody...
