A quick update

Hello All,

I know I haven't written in a long time so here is a quick update as to what I have been up to.

The last couple of weeks I have had work and then have also been starting to plan VBS.

I'm excited for VBS, we are doing a few things differently and I pray that it will be changes for the better. Our theme is Minecraft. This has led to me studying this game, I have never played, I feel a bit like a nerd studying a computer game so intently. We are still nailing down what the teaching theme will be but I think we are close!

Work is always different. I think that is one, of the many reasons, that I enjoy working in the public schools. A few interesting thing from the past week. The children have been learning how to type using typingclub.com, its a good program if you are looking for one. So I decided to go ahead and try using the program, its never bad to refresh and all that. Well i have discovered that I learned to type without my pinkies and it is taking a lot of work to learn to use them ;-)

Also the children in my class room our really obsessed with unicorns right now, it goes through phases at one point it was Bob their imaginary classmate until Bob had an accident on Halloween because he wasn't being safe. Anyways, I asked the young lady I worked with to draw me a unicorn on the back of my soccer shirt, she loves to draw and I figured it would make her happy. Also my soccer teams name is the Fluffy Pink Unicorns so I thought it would be fun. Well she was all for it and insisted on taking the shirt home and drawing and painting it herself. When she brought it back to school the next day the whole class was jealous and a couple asked to play on my team. It was kind of sad to have to tell them they had about 8 years before they were old enough. But they weren't to be discouraged that easy they said when they are old enough they will play on my team ;-)

Yesterday at work we did an egg drop. The children were all suppose to create something that would prevent an egg from breaking when dropped from about 15 feet. There were many creative inventions, there were ziplines, balloon cases, parachutes, boxes, trampolines, soda bottles, and most commonly containers of peanut butter. This was a fun experiment the children were really into it! in the process of doing this though I ended up with egg and peanut butter splattered all over my pants.

Anyways that a quick update as to what I have been up to.
