So today was a much better field experience. There was minor Terrible Meanness, and the class was as cute as ever. They were working on recognizing details in stories and the teacher asked,
"If a grandma is baking with a kid, she needs to be....what?"
Student's answers:
"Pretty?"
"Powdery?"
"Point?"
"Joyful?"
"A good cook?"
The answer: Patient.
The end assignment was a sentence or two about why they would or would not like a grandma like the one in the story. Most of the boys' answers were: "Because she made foxtails [a cookie or some type of dessert]." The girls all wrote answers like, "Because she was happy and loving and joyful and was so nice." A couple boys also wrote answers such as, "No I would NOT like to have a grandma like that because cooking is stupid and boring."
An interesting comment I got from a little girl during Library time: "You are very.....I don't know... *pause*...interesting." Me: "Um, thanks?" :D I was also told that I was going to be an amazing teacher because I was nice and pretty and had "lovely" hair. 3rd graders are VERY easy to please.... :D

Mr Music would be with the boys who are all about a Grandma who will feed them.
I am glad things were better.
And 3rd graders are my favorite... well, that and kindergarteners. But in between, the constant repetition of teaching to read kills too many of my brain cells... and much over 4th grade, they start being taller than I am... I don't like that. 3rd grade is perfect.
