new rotation

i started a new rotation this week in a 5th grade class. this class is much more diverse with latino, asian, filipino, and black kids. there is a set of twin boys named elvis and ivan. they're chinese. i love the names. chinese people come up with the craziest names. i was thinking today, what are some weird things to name your kids, and i came up with feldspar. what can i say, i was studying a bunch of science today that included geology. i take another test this saturday morning and i have to pass all 3 subtests so that i can student teach starting in january. i think it's harder than the SATs...no joke.
