Today a friend of mine who is in education came by to observe me. It was great seeing her, I haven't seen her in quite some time. Anyway, today she got to see my Earth and Life science classes, and even took part in some brainstorming we're doing for an Earth Day Song--based on the "Boom De Ah Dah (The World is Amazing)" song from the Discovery Channel. My kids are really getting into it--today we brainstormed our favorite things about the planet (I made them concentrate primarly on environmental things, like trees and sunshine, but allowed them to throw in "technology" as a catch all for human contributions). Tomorrow, we're going to work on finishing our brainstorming and putting our ideas into a song format. When we get the whole thing finished, I'm going to video them singing it. Hopefully we can get some music! That would be awesome! I'm as excited as they are. :)
In other news, Prom is tonight and I'm chaperoning. I didn't even go to my own prom in high school, so this will be a new experience. I only signed up because I got guilted into it--not that I mind hanging with the kids, but I confess I'm a bit of a homebody when it comes to afternoons. I much prefer to go home and stay home rather than stay out late. And I was planning on staying here until the prom started, but the more I think about it, the less likely that seems. I think I'm going to go home (even though I live 45 minutes away) and then just come back. Four hours of hanging out here with nothing to do just isn't my style.
UNLESS... I can find a friend in BR who has nothing better to do and hang out with them for awhile. That would be feasible... but I'll probably just go home.

So, how did the class song turn out. It sounded like a real creative thing to do... for a biology teacher.
ReplyDeleteNo,seriously, how did it go?
Well, yes, how did it go?
ReplyDeleteAnd I couldn't help but think of the Beatles song "Because" because it seems fitting here. The first line is "Because the world is round it turns me on...." Check it out. I'm not sure if I burned the cd Abbey Road for you but it's on that cd.
No, "Because" song Bets! You're slipping! Just kidding... I'll have to look it up. As far as the Boom De Ah Dah Song, we're finished writing our lyrics (a few of them wanted to add a rap, so I let them) and we're going to try to organize and sing it before the end of the year. I really hope we get to do it, because they really enjoyed writing it.
