We have a crazy bunch of kiddos. They love music and we have usually have it going all day. Most of the time we use instrumentals. Pandora is awesome. We have a station that we use that plays instrumentals from sound tracks like Star Wars, Superman, Forrest Gump, etc. The kids love it. We also had a vocabulary word this last week pop up in phonics reader. The word was boogie. The kids wanted to know what it meant. We tried to explain it...blank stares. So youtube produced a solution. We showed a quick video from an ancient Solid Gold episode of the Sylvers doing Boogie Fever. They just about died laughing. I was not sure whether or not to be insulted. So then one of the kiddos says "Ms. T can we have a Boogie Friday?". I agreed to let them have Boogie Friday. As long as our behavior is good we will play boogie music (disco) on Friday. Today, well from recess on, we did. I had my formal observation for teacher evaluation today, didn't think that would be a good idea. We had a couple guys who were total hams and loved to Boogie. They especially like to Boogie with Ms. J. We showed them the John Trovolta move..that was a favorite. You really never know what will be happening in our crazy little corner of the world. Love every minute of it.
