PB&J

today i had a teacher inservice training day.

information you need to know before i describe the day:

we each got a pair of these "sunglasses":



i put mine on the floor somewhere, but a lot people put theirs on like this:



just keep that in mind for just a minute.

seminar #1 was "emergency preparedness."

the speaker's primary example was how to handle an anthrax attack.

anthrax.

"whenever i am around a bunch of people, i always have to ask...how should we plan on getting medicine to 1 million people in 40 hours? because 40 hours is all we'd have."

about 45 minutes into learning how we would be completely unable to handle an anthrax attack at a preschool, he stopped and said:

"can y'all put your sunglasses on your face? i just want to see what everyone looks like with those sunglasses on!"

and then continued with the lecture. he did let us know that if we need information about how to handle emergencies, we could check the internet. the internet has a lot of information.

seminar #2 was "science in the classroom"

one quote from the speaker.

"i am extremely buoyant."

seminar #3 was "music and movement"

i knew we were headed for trouble when i saw her ear microphone. whenever someone wears one of those, you know they plan on wandering enthusiastically through the room.

and when she said the words "i've been told it's my job to keep you awake after the lunch break!"

i don't care to describe the singing and dancing that followed.

seminar #3 was "camping projects"

i learned a new joke.

if you're an american before you go in the bathroom, and you're an american when you come out of the bathroom, what are you INSIDE the bathroom?

european.
