I definitely felt a little less prepared than my last class and I think for me it was just the age where I was like well if it would help much more like energy and how hard is it to control? They would be but I think once we kind of got on topic it wasn't that bad. Overall it was okay. Could have been better but it also could have been a lot worse and considering I'm a substitute and I didn't know me very well, not 21.

Today Garden. I wish I had a little. I don't know what you getting into the school with my calendar. I don't know what was wrong with it. That it had said it started later than it did, but I was still like, okay on time so because of that, I felt a little less prepared but we discussed camouflaged like we talked about like why do animals camouflage what is camouflage? Like how does that work? And then I had like construction paper out and then I had a bunch of like little like toys and things like that. So, I was like figuring out what would live where if it was an animal and then they all Drew their own animals, which for a lot of the boys turn into like drawing Spider-Man and different colors. But it's ok, we talked about spiders, we did that. They talked in a group and then to close off. We just as like, what's your favorite animal and do, you know, a fun fact about them? Or like what do you know about your favorite animal? And then they got stickers. But yeah, it's pretty good.

As I felt very prepared and I feel like the classroom was real like set up in a good way. So I like how I did that go past me but overall felt pretty good. About the whole process and it felt like a pretty smooth class. No bumps. Everyone had fun. Everyone seemed happy with the end result or arguments was.

Today. Wait, I think I just hit the fence. Sorry, I'm trying to get out of the parking lot, we did. Fruit skewers with yogurt honey and coconut. So they cut up the fruit. I mean, I helped I talk explain how to like at the food safely, then they had their kind of free will to design their fruits fruit skewer as they want and do the cutting and the patterns as they would like it and design. And then some students opted, not to have the yogurt or to not add the honey, some did just honey. Almost all of them had some fried coconut. And so for the frying coconut, I helped the stove and they were helping mix it, and then when it came time, just put it on and off the stove, I was the one doing that overall felt pretty good. Did the activity? A lot of them took something home. Either food skewer or one took like a parfait that they had made because I tried to give it more like a free reign of like since it is a simpler thing. But I was like how can you put your creativity and would you like into food? So,
