Finger Mustache Mafia

I introduced the infamous "finger mustache' to my kids a couple weeks ago. They immediately latched onto the idea. Its hilarious. They come into class with mustaches already written on their fingers and now they are branching out to different types of mustaches.

They make me laugh so hard.

yesterday Michelle came into my class with about 4 different mustaches on her fingers. Apparently the amusements of 8 and 9 year olds doesn't escape the adults either.

We had a few laughs, took some pictures:

At first I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy teaching elementary because the classes are TINY and the kids have the opportunity to be brats.... but I've found that the majority of my elementary kids are amazing. I just love them.

Michelle and I "taught" them one day by sitting in the hall with our class of 5 (3 in mine, 2 in hers) and we made videos between reading out of the text book.

One such video.

Sitting to my left is Lydia... to my right... Gabinna and across from me is Amy.





Apparently when you give kids the opportunity to express themselves on video... they tend to be violent. I guess thats the society in which we live. All kids grow up in a world where violence is not frowned upon as much as before. It's in their video games, movies, comics, etc. Anyway, this video was the first we made. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, but it was hilarious at the same time.

Oh... and the boy in the video, Rodney.... his Korean name sounds like "How've you been?". Michelle and I like to say that to him a lot... so thats why I'm saying "How've you beeeen????"
