On Friday at Village Prep, we again, started the day in the classrooms. I sorted a million papers and put them into folders, which was super boring, but as I was doing it, I was listening to the class and the lessons being taught, which I always enjoy doing. The teachers are so passionate and the students are really engaged. We took a break for Unity Circle mid morning and I've attached a video of one of the chants the students do at Unity Circle. I can't decide if I think it's awesome or creepy that the kids talk about college so much: It's creepy that it's said in unison, but college, taking care of each other, and unity are important, positive themes and messages to send out to young kids. I finished the day in the classroom as well and the kids had some "free choice" time. During this time, we played hangman with a bunch of students. Some of them have some serious ADD and as we played, three girls kept trying to play with my hair. They LOVE our hair. Elissa said a girl in her class kept playing with her hair too. It's pretty adorable. The majority of the kids at E-prep have cornrows or braids with colorful beads. I want cornrows with beads.
