i can't make this stuff up.

i learned that one of the kids in my class is afraid of rabbits.

rabbits.

how am i supposed to take that seriously?

and when i was flipping through a book today getting ideas for next week's lesson plans, i stumbled across a new dance move.

it's called "The Swim"

"Have the children step side to side, and forward and backward while moving their arms as if swimming. Play almost any rock music from the 1960's and this dance will be perfect."

yeah, that sounds like a great idea. play some jimi hendrix or janis joplin. perhaps a little simon & garfunkel. maybe some bob dylan.

for two year olds.

actually now that i think about it, if i ever did something ridiculous like open my own preschool...that would totally be perfect. allison's school of rock preschool.
