Today was so much fun. My friend Sara is a second grade teacher and I am her intern. Today we had her students 3/4 of the way convinced that we were our cousins. Here’s what happened.
We finished lunch and the students were walking back to the classroom and we were trying to get there ahead of them. We went in - put on aprons and grabbed the menus we’d gathered. Then we went out and greeted the kids in southern accents as Clarabelle (me) and BillieJean (Sara). After we’d ushered the kids into the classroom and given them their menus - we informed them that their teacher and her assistant went out to lunch and we were going to be running the Steinhauser Cafe for them. We gave each of them menus and told them that they needed to figure out what they wanted and then they had to write it out and add up the amounts. We walked around, talked with the students, and generally just played our roles. The kids had a great time and like I said we had them about 3/4s of the way convinced that we were Mrs. S and Mrs. P’s cousins.
At the end just before class let out for the day - we put a quick video on - went outside and took off the aprons and came back in as Mrs. S and Mrs. P - and were so upset that we didn’t get to see our “cousins”. It was a fun way to teach math.
