test week = loco

last week was SATs for the school. it wasn't too bad.. some kids were not focused during the testing, so i'm curious to see what their test scores are! ;) we had two subjects each morning from monday to friday.. then the afternoon was normal class-time. all that sitting and testing made them a little crazy..
one of the days they started humming the song "i met a bear" and i started humming it too.. they were shocked that i knew the song. they only know it in japanese and i couldn't remember the lyrics, so i searched it and sang it to them in english. since the tune was stuck in my head, i started playing around with them, singing instructions to them in that tune. one of my girls then wanted me to start singing that tune to them when i got mad at them and yelled haha. let's just say it turned into a crazy afternoon hahaha.
on friday, to celebrate the ending of testing, i had them choose what movie they wanted to watch.. peter pan or pirates of the caribbean. pirates won. BUT while we were watching it, one by one, kids started getting scared and i had to turn it off haha. jed would run up next to me and say he was scared.. then a pirate would get hit over the head.. he would laugh hysterically and sit back down. i think it was the skeleton scene that scared a few of them the most. oh well.. peter pan next time!
here's a picture jed wanted me to take of his pattern block creations.. he was so proud!
