That's why I'm here so much. As I type this, a group of seventh grade students are taking their Language Arts benchmark tests. Ah, standardization in all its splendor...
They walked in and several of the students remembered me from the last benchmark I gave them, which was in a certain Social Studies class, and proclaimed, "Pain is weakness leaving the body!"
We joked around a bit and there were a few class clowns who tried to test me in a battle of wits, but enjoyed being ever so slightly humiliated in the process. One of them cried, "You're evil!" and they all laughed when I giggled and nodded. It's nice to have my reputation preceed me. : )
Anyway, this morning I went to a private school in a neighboring county where a friend of mine teaches second grade and also runs a yoga club. Part of my children's yoga teaching certification is that I have to observe and assist for a certain number of hours in a yoga class, and then volunteer a few classes. So I got to watch cute kids do yoga and then come give a benchmark exam. A decent day if you ask me. Especially since I found a HUGE strawberry among the remains of some sort of luncheon in one of the teachers' lounges. And promptly ate it. Yummm...
I'm excited because Up just came out today and I will be going to see it this weekend. Hooray for Pixar! Here's hoping they crawl out from under Disney's cloven hoof some time soon.
