Today in class we played a game which took up majority of the class time. This was a game which required patience, listening, understanding, a little memorization, and concentration. In the game Jimmy had two objects, a  yellow paint tube and a chalk eraser. He passed them around a circle in opposite directions. He would first turn to the person on either side and say this is a who, they would say a who? he would say a who again, and they would say oh a who! Then they would turn to the person on the side of them and repeat the process but instead of them answering a who? they would turn to the person on the other side and say a who? and they would say a who? to the person on their other side until it got back to the original person who would say a who and we would pass it down to the person asking a who? We would repeat the process on the other side but say this is a what and repeat the same process. Eventually they would cross and for us this is what got confusing. After tries and tries we got very close to going all they around but gave up out of frustration.

After this game Jimmy instructed us to close our eyes and open our minds, and visualize everything he was saying. He read us a descriptive story that ended with us opening a door. We were to draw what we imagined was behind the door. I chose to draw the room of a princess with dresses and jewels. My class for the most part had different visions but most had a bedroom. Once again there is no homework!
