The Book Loft...Good thing was that I was able to get them to focus by this little clapping rhythm I picked up on -- I would clap the little three-step rhythm and then the class would automatically clap it back to me. I have also learned to focus on activities in which the children repeat something that you say right after you say it, a sort of call and answer game. That way, the kids get so preoccupied with the game they forget about drifting away and acting up.
After class, I picked up Caitlin and we went to Columbus to see about getting her computer fixed and also to see her family. It was great to see Mark, Susan, Robin, Derek, and (yes) even Penny just for a little bit. We went out to eat dinner with Mark and Susan and it was great to spend some time with them. After that, Caitlin and I went to the Book Loft for a while too before driving back to Athens.
In Athens, we met up with Evan for a little bit before going to bed. Great day!
