This past Monday, I had the opportunity to visit the developmentally delayed class at my school. It was amaaaaazing. I'm not sure exactly why some of the kids are in the class, but it was neat to see everything they do. I got to see circle time in the afternoon, where they do Brainjim, which is a CD song thing where they do different activities. THe point of the activities is to coordinate the two sides of their brains; thus, the name Brainjim. Or maybe it's Brainjam. The lady has a European accent. Anyway, the kids rubbed their earlobes, tapped opposite knees, etc. It was fun to watch. I think I'd love to work with them, but it would be so challenging! Anyway, towards the end, one of the little boys walked over to me and was staring at me. Then he said, "Eww." All the teachers were like, "Oh no." Apparently he said the same thing last week after he soiled his pants, and sure enough, he had. They kept telling him he had to tell them sooner, before the Ew. Gross, and yet really neat. So that was that. I had a good Monday, and on Friday, I'm visitng Queen's Park with my grade 5 class! Dalton McGuinty, here I come!
