decorate for a party

hallway decorations

music activity
2 mini lessons

the music activity was so much fun. It was a little rough at the beginning, but towards the end it ended up sounding really cool. For the hallway decorations we all decorated an elephant with zen doodles. They all turned out looking really cool with all different personalities. For the party the kids had to earn a certain amount of class points. There was not very much decorating because it was not a themed party. But it ended up being fun! The mini lessons I did was that I got different types of cereal and made the layers of rock with the cereals. It was super easy and super fun. I taught it to two classes.

For third term I wanted to do 2 mini lessons and a calendar and decorate for a party. We did not end up having a party while I was there so I switched the party decorating for a bulletin board. I did 1 big lesson and in that lesson I did 2 mini lessons. One of my lessons was on water filters. We made water filters and it was so cool! For the other part of the lesson we learned what condensation is. That was way cool too. They both ended up working really well and I had a lot of fun doing them. I did not take a picture of the calendar or the bulletin board. I forgot to take a picture. When I go in on Friday I can take pictures. So that is my term 3 portfolio.

For my music lesson I thought we would learn a song on the bells. Its simple. So there are 12 bells so I am going to have 12 kids play them and the rest sing.

This last two weeks were so good but also frustrating. They were good because we did a really fun lesson in Mrs. Norton’s class. We were learning about the layers of rock, so we learned about them with different cereals and then ate cereal. It was so fun! This week was kind of frustrating because the kids are all done with school and excited for summer so they are just lazy and acting out. When they act out they have to be disciplined. That is super hard for me because at the time the teacher was out of the class and I don’t feel like I’m the teacher. I know I’m supposed to be the adult, but I feel like I’m still a kid and I hate getting mad at the kids.

I was at Malawis Pizza and they guy who was taking my order was super rude. I don’t know why but he was super mean to me. I was there with my friend and he was just super snappy. This was super upsetting because me and my friend were having a super fun day and were having a good time, then his attitude kind of ruined our day.

I was at a store in park city and I was just getting some shorts and me and the girl who was working just became super good friends and she was super grateful that I was nice to her.  It felt good because I felt good coming out of the store and made me like that store more.

A couple years ago me and my brother made this huge presentation on why we should get a puppy. We worked forever on it and my dad just brushed it off and said no. It was upsetting because we worked really hard on it and it was just brushed off.

These weeks have been fun. I have been able to teach a lot and learn a lot. Mrs. Alston was sick and had a substitute and the sub just handed me the lesson plan when I got there and said “here, you teach science.” It was so unreal but really fun.

I was a customer at a deli and I was sitting in my chair and it was pushed out a little. The worker was walking and tripped on the leg of my chair and got really mad. He sat there and yelled at me and got really angry. It was so embarrassing. I didn’t mean to trip him it was just how my chair was positioned. I am not good when it comes to confrontation and I just sat there. It made me feel really bad and not want to go back. This happened almost a year and a half ago and I have not been back in since.

I was shopping at a store and just became friends with one of the girls working there. We walked around the store as she helped me find what I was looking for and we just became friends. When I was checking out she came up to me and said thanks for being nice to her because earlier that day she had been yelled a by a customer for not knowing something. After that, that kind of became my favorite store. I know that sounds cheesy but I already liked the store then being friends with the worker I just really liked that store. Me and the worker exchanged numbers and we are still friends and hang out.

Earlier this year I wrote a paper for my English class I worked really hard on. It was for my college essays. I spend hours working on it. When I showed it to my teacher she said that it was not written well and that she really didn’t like it. That was hard to hear because I had spent all weekend working on it and just to hear her say that it wasn’t good really hurt.
