Do I Matter?

The drawing I drew on the whiteboard wall.

This week in KidsTeam we used a technique we've coined "Stickyboarding," which is essentially using lots of colorful sticky notes to brainstorm ideas for a story. And I got the task of Idea Bomber. Basically, the Idea Bomber's task is to go around to each group and help everyone come up with ideas. And it was immense fun, as there were pirate ships, balloons, fireworks, mazes, and monsters. Who knew vocabulary could be so fun?

Actually, the most bemusing conversation I've had so far was about who was going to be the idea bomber, and went like this:
R (who likes to be the idea bomber): Am I going to get to be the idea bomber?

The matching shirts we all wear on Wednesdays.

K: No, I made Kaitlyn the idea bomber.
R: Why?
K: Because she hasn't done it yet.
R (joking, of course): who cares about Kaitlyn? Kaitlyn doesn't matter!
L: Welcome to Pearson.
T: Welcome to corporate America.
L: You should put that on your blog!
Li: You should get a blog!
R: She has a blog!
Li: She does?
Me: It's for my school.
Li: Oh, you should get a Pearson blog!

So, now it's on my blog for your personal amusement.

I also got the chance to write on the whiteboard wall (shown above), although I was far from the children's first guess of who did it (I was more around their seventh/eighth guess).

Also, the email newsletter will be done next week, and then I can show you some pictures!
