Who gives kids anything?

1. Who gives kids pockets? What good is a three year old going to do with cargo pants? I can think of lots of bad things to bring home. There are no good things that can come out of kids pockets.

2. Who gave my elementary kids yarn? Who? Yarn! Whole balls of it!

Water Day was Crazy

So the head teacher in my class wasn't there today and Colleen and I had the kids all to ourselves. Oh boy. We did pretty well and they had their snack and all. Then Water Day happened (we set up a sprinkler and they ran around for 30 mins). But then I get out my camera cuz they look so cute and they're having so much fun. I snap a picture of one of the kids without realizing that they are standing there saying nothing:



Poor guy. He was sobbing, saying he couldn't move because he was dirty. Later we were dancing inside and two or three kids (not sure) collided heads. Then I told a girl to sit over here instead of there and she started crying. Boy was that loud. It all worked out. And look at the pretty things I made:









So those were fun. The bracelet is my name in binary (white=0, red=1). The Perler bead colors (green and black) were inspired by Missy Elliot's Lime Green Limbourghini with a custom lime green and black interior with a floor mat that says "Missy."

Damn kids!

So I work at this elementary school (Villa Montessori) doing swimming lessons and crap. I need to get pictures. Weird things happen like on Friday we made Father's Day presents (Pen / pencil holders out of flower pots). This little Asian girl is adopted by two women I think though (She calls them both Mom). One of the other teachers says so as well. That was kinda weird. Someone else's parents are both deceased I think, but luckily he wasn't there on Friday. Other than that, the kids are sweet. We made pudding and food colored it. Holy shit! Food coloring is the greatest thing ever! I was so excited. I now food color my coffee and my soda and Rockstar. So awesome. The kids weren't all that excited because fuckin all their food is food colored. Damn Trix yogurt and jello and crap. Damn kids!
