This week our class was lucky enough to meet twice with "Kru Nina", the visiting teacher from Thailand. On Monday, she met with our class along with Mrs. Branch's and Mrs. McGuire's first grades. On Monday, we met in the flex space next to the cafeteria to learn a game called "Rabbit On One Leg." In a small space several children were chosen to be the rabbits. The rabbits had to jump on ONE leg (no small feat) to try and catch the runners running about the space! What a way to end the day...they were pooped when done jumping!!!
On Wednesday, we met outside. The first game she taught was called...well, I don't remember what it was called, but it was a running/chase game. It was actually quite a bit of fun and required some listening on the part of the players! The second game was called the "Monkey Game" but was really just Monkey in the Middle from our own childhoods! Oddly enough, most of them had never played this game! The "twist" is that we had TWO balls going...luckily they were soft, as several kids were hit in the head when they weren't watching the balls!
Thanks, Kru Nina! We'll see her again next week for some storytelling!
