Two teaching days left before Christmas and I think I have lost my mind! I have been working on a restaurant unit with my students and tomorrow I was going to have them make an appetizer in class. However, my co-worker and my students have been begging me to teach them to knit. I swore I wouldn't give in.... I did. Tomorrow we are scrapping my restaurant unit for knitting time. It is something that they can use and it is a whole language rich activity. I do see a lot of value in teaching them this. I hope that they love it as much as I do. I think it could also help them make friends with the after-school student knitting club. I am trying to get them involved in a whole slew of activities so that they have lots of chances to use their English skills.
Then as I was driving home I hear Christmas music that had an accordion in it. I thought to my self "wow, it would be cool to learn to play the squeeze box." My grandfather did. Then I thought "I already have too many projects to do, so I can't take on another new hobby now." I guess it's part of my nature as I am a Sagittarius.
