Wednesday's Wacky Moment

On Wednesday, we played a game inspired by Dr. Seuss. It was a game that we, as a faculty, did not believe the children would understand. But they were outstanding and did a great job. We began the game with "Miss Judy is bringing pink punch to the party." Then Miss Amy said, "Miss Judy is bringing pink punch to the party and I am bringing delicious dirt." Then Miss Leigh said, "Miss Judy is bringing pink punch, Miss Amy is bringing delicious dirt, and I am bringing potato chips." Then it was the children's turn to come forward and remember what the teachers were bringing and add something of our own. The list follows. Now remember that each child must remember what everyone was bringing to remain in the game:

Isaac is bringing The Cat in the Hat
Jasmin is bringing cupcakes
Austin is bringing green eggs and ham
Javeon is bringing ice cream
Emily is bringing brownies
Brady is bringing hot dogs
Kylie is bringing chili
CJ is bringing gummy worms
Jill is bringing cookies
Alexis is bringing pizza
Ely is bringing grapes
Sam is bringing root beer
Scotty is bringing veggies
Colby is bringing watermelon
Jack is bringing eel soup and barley water
Makenzie is bringing strawberry pie
And Garrett is bringing Dr. Seuss

It was a remarkable game and we will so use this game again to reinforce memory and listening skills. It was sure a surprise to us, and a welcomed surprise. These kids are great. We love them so much.
