Amazing Week for Ms. Pengen...

This month, another program leader, Mr. Diaz, and I did yoga club for 3 Fridays' now which includes March 1st, 8th, and 15th. Last Friday, the school had a movie event for the kids and they got to watch Wreck-It Ralph. In order to transition into another month of new club, we tend to end it with a movie day, a relax day.

The students got to vote what movie they could watch in the MPR. We had Wreck-It Ralph, Rise of the Guardians, Diary of the Wimpy Kid, and Legend of Kung Fu Rabbit. Of course, most the kids at this school are really young and active, so they chose to watch Wreck-It Ralph. The other kids wanted to watch Diary of Wimpy Kids. The younger ones out scored the older kids.

Eleven students in my class got to go to the movie since they paid and had outstanding behavior for that week. Seven students from my class got send to the office for bad behavior. They had to pick up trash around the school for 2 hours. And 6 of my students went home early due to sickness or the parents wanted to pick them up.

Even though most of my students had their THINK bucks and were able to pay, I thought it would be best to judge them by behavior rather than having the money. I did charged them 25TB rather than what the other PLs' charge their students which was really high. During the week, I had 4 more new students enter my class which is the total in class is 24 students. Since I couldn't charge them, I based them off of behavior. It goes for the same with my other students who have no money.

This upcoming week is Easter and all of the program leaders including myself are ready to present the kids with an Easter Fair for the last day of the month, March.

Stations for Program Leaders
Ms. Viri for Group A = Can Toss (knocking down cans)
Ms. Moreno for Group B = Egg in a Spoon Relay
Mr. Diaz for Group C = Bean Bag Toss
Ms. Yesi for Group D = Bunny Hop Race
Ms. Stephanie for Group E = Ring Toss
Ms. A for Group F = Egg Hunt
Ms. Sammy for Group G = Pin Bunny in the Basket
Ms. Y for Group I = ?

Each station the kids will be there for 20 mins. Since there are 9 groups, it would take about 180 mins or 3 hours! Next week the kids have conference week meaning they tend to get out at 12:50 rather than 1:50. And the parents tend to pick their kid(s) around 5ish. I think everyone will manage the time.

For next month, April, I finally figure out what club I am presenting to the kids...healthy cooking club. I need another title for my club to make it sound interesting lol! Each Friday, I need to present a simple snack to make and tell them what kind of ingredients are in and why are they important. So, I came up with 3 recipes which includes...

1 small cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
