Space Shoes!
Today was a great day. My classes went really well. Very successful I think. I was doing alot of performing in them. For the 3rd graders I was doing Big, Small, Happy, Sad, Heavy, Light, Hot, and Cold. I acted out everyone and then I made the kids act them out. They all got a kick out of it.
During lunch time I received my shirt for the performance tomorrow. Its a tank top...like a super-muscle-T. When it isn't stretched out it looks like the size of a baby's t-shirt. Crap. I have to wear this...along with those damn motor cycle gloves! I swear, I will be busting straight out of the 80s. I just hope I don't have to wear a headband.
During lunch, Coco took me to the place where they got the shoes. I was trying out a bunch of different ones. I finally decided on these really nice white ones with a shiny black stripe down the center of the tongue and front of the shoe. Its goofy look. So I got it. There was another shoe that I was looking at that was really lame. It looked like the shoe version of the rear-entry ski boots. Totally a waste of material.
Classes continuted to be really good. Kindergarten was surprisingly great. I brought my dance outfit along to teach them the names of each part. I also taught the letters. Then Jolene told me that the kindergarten teachers don't want us teaching letters and sounds to the kids becuase it will confuse them while trying to learn PinYin (the romanization system of chinese). I disagreed. I feel the kids could differentiate the two. Being young, its best time to learn it. But, oh well. They will forget the english anyway. Its not like I am making a difference in any of their lives.
Practice went real well tonite. I enjoyed it and we had a good time. #1 (a-Chan) the school's gym teacher was wearing his white jump pants and ripped thru their seams. It looked like Freddy Kruger got a hold of his pants. So, we had to work a little frontier medicine. We were told to go get some more pants...all black. So we had to go pick them up. While wearing the outfit, the shirt and pants...I look like a ballet dancer who's packed on a few pounds.
I have to get up at 645AM tomorrow because I being picked up at 745 to do a quick rehearsal at the Government building tomorrow. Fantastic. Goodnite.
