The Awesome Day.

This week I had a REALLY AWESOME DAY.

Not just a good day, but a really awesome day. 

Now I'm going to tell you about the things that made it awesome.

Awesome thing #1:

The sky was a lovely blue with fluffy white clouds that looked like clouds. 

Awesome thing #2:

I got to observe a Chinese math class and it was one of the most fun classes I’ve ever sat in on. The kids were dialoguing the whole time, everyone was excited, it was fast paced, and watching children climb over each other to get called on was hilarious.

Some would criticize China’s sense of competitiveness, but it can really make for energetic classes.

And the teacher had a great pointer. I was envious of that pointer.

Awesome thing #3:

My first graders didn’t eat me. I love it when they are nice to me in class.

(Just in case you were wondering, I am starting to like first grade. You can get them to do anything you want as long as you say everything in a sing-song-kids-show voice.)

Awesome thing #4:

Class 6 made me laugh uncontrollably. While we were playing a game, two kids messed up and started laughing, the class started laughing, my co-teacher started laughing, I started laughing, and EVERYONE was laughing together.

I don’t know why it was so great, but it was. 

Awesome thing #5:

I played with one of my old classes on the playground. I beat two boys in arm wrestling and helped the girls slide-tackle Alex. 

Awesome thing #6:

The lady at the store gave us hugs. She’s so nice. 

We also found these stickers at the store: 

 

Awesome thing #7:

Team dinner.

Bethany threw a bunch of stuff in a pan, had no idea what she was doing, and it ended up being delicious.

Awesome thing #8:

Watching Wreck-It Ralph in Susie’s apartment.

“I don’t have to do BOO!...forgive my potty mouth.”

“Well MILK my DUDS!” 

Cheesy lines are my heart language.

I think the greatness of the day really boiled down to how much laughter happened.

Laughter is the best medicine.
