Prac and pith helmets

Prac highlights:

Having kids listen to me when I ask them to do stuff! (Trust me, it's an accomplishment)
Outsmarting a kid who thought he'd make me go to pieces when he stole the lesson plan
Friendly teachers
Opportunities to observe senior drama and music while doing my assessment with junior drama classes

Lowlights:
Mostly related to behaviour management issues


And now I bet you're wondering about the pith helmet.
For Kids Klub at church this year (has it come around again?!) it's a jungle theme.
The other night my sister was talking about safari suits. She said, "I want a pith helmet." (For those of you who don't know, they're those weird hats you wear with the safari suit).
I turned to her in shock. "You watch your language!" I said.

:-p

So now the pith helmet is the running joke. We're planning an ad for Kids Klub at church. Tiph is planning to be a character with a lisp - "Hello everyone, I jutht can't wait for Kidth Klub thith year, we're going to the jungle, and I'm going to wear my thafari thuit and my pith helmet."
Alternatively, she would come on wearing one and I would grab it off her head.
"Are you taking the pith?"

But we thought that might not go down too well ;-)
