Sounding off
Quick entries today…
We’re starting our first science unit, which is sound light, and color. We started having a discussion about sounds, what causes sounds, what we know about sounds, vibrations, echoes, etc. Trying to get them motivated, I started off by having them make “the sounds that annoy your family at home.” So they go off, and I make my elephant sound, too. I have them stop, and everyone stops, except for one of my students. One of the shyest so far, the room is completely silent except for him chirping away “Nit! Nit! Nit! Nit!” Though it wasn’t exact, it was totally a Monty Python Moment. I almost busted out laughing. Instead, I said ” _____, you just made my day.”
And then we went on. Somedays, this job is hilarious. I needed the laugh after some of the battles in the last few days.
