- We saw a Hip Hop dance group this morning. They were unbelievable. One dude spun on his head for an improbably long time. Also, they had a lady breakdancer. She's my hero.
- During the dance part, one student of mine kept yelling, "You Michael Jackson! Michael Jackson! You Michael Jordan! Michael Jordan! You on fire, on fire, on fire!"
- We saw a very inspirational Bronx-based modern dance troupe.
- My 5th and 6th graders had their first day of filming. We followed the performance group to the subway station, where they were handing out free lollipops to "sweeten" everyone's day. The footage is a little Blair Witch, but it'll be the jam. These kids rock.
- After school, the other first grade teachers and I had to make stuffed animal butterflies. Using a hot glue gun sounded better when I was a kid.
Tomorrow is the Spring Gallery showcase. Oo la la.
i wonder if spinning on one's head causes dizziness--jor maybe just headburn
ReplyDeleteIs the kid living in the 80s? I didn't think kids these days knew Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan? I would think it would be more Kanye West and Kobe Bryant.
ReplyDeletefor real. i was thinking the same thing. maybe that's what he hears older people say?
ReplyDeleteit never occurred to me that screaming the names of celebrities and athletes might intensify the joy of dancing. but it kind of makes sense.
ReplyDeleteyeah. i yelled, "lemi! lemi!" a bunch of times during the performance. and everyone looked at me funny.
