Well, today was probably the funniest field experience I have had so far. Today was test day, and the whole school was doing their tests. Soon after I came in, my teacher lamented to me, jokingly (I think) that her "eyebrow was twitching" and "you know what that means!". She told me this as the students behind her were supposed to be doing their math test. I watched as many of the students began incredibly amusing imitations of eyebrow twitching, all the while trying to keep my calm as my teacher kept talking. In fact, she talked a TON. Or perhaps I was just stunned coming from the total lack of communication from before to sudden, actual conversations. Anyways, she spent a good amount of time telling me how I simply MUST go the Hot Dog Shoppe. She also told me about how she takes suitcases of hot dogs and chili via plane to her sister-in-law in Washington state. It was quite hard to keep a straight face. Then she told me how she had graduated from Geneva, was Catholic, had a granddaughter named Jordan, showed me pictures of her family, talked about how Washington does not have Snyder chips or pepperoni-by-the-stick, and reemphasized my need to visit the hot dog shoppe.
Then it was time for the class to go to Library Time. I enjoy this because I get one-on-one interaction with all the kids. Today one of the boys checked out a book on the jungle. In this book there were several pictures of naked men and women, which, of course, had every child in the class in an absolute uproar. The librarian intervened and removed the book, while I watched and tried desperately not to collapse in laughter. I also taught the students an optical illusion trick (one of them checked out an Optical Illusion book, so I showed them that when you focus your eyes dar away, then move your fingers toward eachother, it makes a hovering finger), which made me the Best Thing Ever in their eyes, especially the boys who made comments such as "OH GROSSSSS! AWESOME!". Little kids are very easy to please. :D
