Yipee Skipee!

So here's the thing...Mel wanted me to write a new post so that she doesn't have to be bored when she gets home and doesn't want to do anything except for become entranced in my life, only to come to find out that I have not posted anything new on this blessed Blog of mine. So on behalf of Melissa, I am writing this post, requested by Queen Hart herself, only because I love love love her. And because she puts up with me. :) Love ya Sista!

So here it goes... This week has been absolutely exceptional, minus the fact that I have a rotten cold. However, I am overcoming this evil nose congesting, throat soring, headache causing, stuffy cold with the help of my really good friend, acetaminophen dextromethorphan phenylephrine...aka Tylenol cold daytime and nighttime..:) Love it! Of course I am not one to take a lot of medicine to help me get over annoying obnoxious things like colds and such, ok, actually I am, so forget my next thought. I am a wimp, and so I will take whatever medication that I need to in order to deaden whatever is causing my distress. Just call me Baby. Oh wait, Shiloh already does that. So, needless to say, I am slowly but surely getting over this blasted thing. Beautiful miracle.

Next on my list of things to write about is my P.E. lesson from yesterday. IT WAS SO GOOD! Now you are thinking, why did Megan teach physical education? Well, here is the answer boys and girls. Because I wanted to. See, they don't have p.e., music, or art specialists at my school, so the teachers teach those subjects. And my teacher asked me if I wanted to teach p.e., and I said yes. So I did. And it was so much fun. I love every second of it. I think one of the reasons why it went so well is because my students love p.e., and so they did not want to waste one second of their precious p.e. time by blabbering to their friends and listened ever so carefully to each important detail of what I wanted them to do. It was wonderful. I had them warm up by separating them into 10 different stations, where each station had something different to do; such as station 1 did push-ups, station 2 did sit-ups, station 3 did jumping jacks, and so on. They did each station for 30 seconds, and I told them that if they didn't work their hardest at each station, they would have to do them for longer. So needless to say, they cooperated extremely well, not just because they love me, ok, yep, that's actually the reason. Then they rotated stations until they had gone to each station. Then I had them stretch out their poor little tired worn out muscles, with me as their fearless stretching leader. They worship me really. Just kidding. Then I taught them a really fun game that they absolutely had a blast doing. And I won't go into very much detail, but I will just tell you that they had a ton of fun, and it was so fun to watch them...especially when I would change it up on them and their little minds would get so boggled. It was rather hilarious.

Tomorrow, I am teaching a way fun reading/writing aka language arts lesson on adding the element of voice to writing. I am reading a Patricia Polacco book called Chicken Soup to them, one because most of the books that she writes are based upon experiences that she had growing up, so of course her voice is definitely in all of her books, so the students will really be able to understand where I am coming from when I say "voice in writing", and two because I just really like the book. Then I am going to have them write about an experience that they have had, applying what they have learned about voice. I have decided that if you can hear yourself telling the story out loud when you read the story to yourself, you have mastered the art of voice in writing. I should be able to know how you are feeling at each moment in your story, and it should just be as if you are telling me the story to my face. I think it will be good. I sure hope so anyway. Because if this lesson fails, I am completely giving up on my major and I am dropping out of college. I will be a plumber for the rest of my life.

Finally, I just want to say thank you to all of my wonderful friends who I got to see this past weekend. You are all so wonderful, hilarious, happy, supportive, and talented and I am so blessed to have such amazing friends. See you next weekend! Hopefully sooner than later next weekend, because I think I may get to leave a little bit early on Friday because my teacher is going to be gone! So until then...love ya! We can make it through the next week! I believe in us! GO US! GO TEAM AWESOME!

P.S. Mel, I hope you loved reading all of this, because I stayed up way past my bedtime to write this for you.

P. P. S. You are definitely not getting me to do this every day blessed girl. Maybe every other day, but my making you un-bored is making me sleepy.

P. P. P. S. Love you.

P. P. P. P. S. See you in two weeks and one day.
