laundry before i leave
It's been a whirlwind around here getting ready to leave on Monday morning. Running errands, packing supplies and clothes. I'm also doing lots of laundry. I did a few loads of laundry and then cleaned the house and shaved Toby (he looks much better than when I shaved him last time).
It's been a whirlwind around here getting ready to leave on Monday morning. Running errands, packing supplies and clothes. I'm also doing lots of laundry. I did a few loads of laundry and then cleaned the house and shaved Toby (he looks much better than when I shaved him last time).Even washed the duvet and duvet cover. Then put the bed back together again. Whenever I put the duvet cover on the duvet I always think of that game we had to play in PE in grade school with the parachute.
Did you ever play that?Where you get in a circle around a parachute and shake it so it floats in the air, then you'd run underneath it.
What was the point of that game? What were we supposed to learn? I wonder. Still it was much better than dodge ball or kick ball.

Now I'm watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (love that movie - Johnny Depp is a genius) while I finish email and then it's sleepy time.
It'll be another busy day tomorrow.

Ha! I remember that silly parachute game in P.E. too. But like you, I haven't the slightest idea what it's purpose was. My daughter did it in school too...Hmmm, I wonder if she remembers what we were supposed to learn from it?
So funny, that is what I think of too when putting the duvet and cover back on the bed too ! I had a kitty who loved playing parachute as I made the bed. It was a fun game.
Any photos of Toby and his new "do"? Have a safe trip and have fun teaching !

Pick me! Pick me! The game was fun, but it also involved team work if it was to work.
It was initially designed as part of a range of activities, like the one with the giant ball to be kept afloat.
Afterwards the teacher would/should debrief about what it took to make the exercise successul.. But I think a lot of people taught it just because kids enjoyed it.
Good Luck with the trip.

sometimes I scroll too far!! - my post to your previous post was meant for this one.
i never played the parachute game, but I hated gym class in general - physical competition, big butchy (female)gym teachers, public showers, very scary in my teens!!
