My teaching skills for seven year olds have already reached some new territories. I teach everything from art, to math, the science, to having fun. It's not complicated or anything, today for Math we counted how many fingers I was holding up.
I was however, suuuuuuuper pumped about the fact that we got to have a real live fish in class for science. Why you ask? To teach children about animals and the science of life you might guess? HAAA NO.
That fish was straight up leverage. Those kids eyes LIT up when Larry (the fish) entered the room. To them, there was a new magical, shiny creature, bubbling about a beautiful little talk filled with water. To me, it meant that I could bribe them with behaving well by promising whoever was best to feed Larry at the end of the day.
Turns out, if you need to bribe children with a goldfish, you should be aware of how much food a goldfish needs in a day and not allow your shining star of a student, Sophia, to feed him half the can in one day.
So, the next morning along with Larry, my new found scientist/political mafiosa career was found floating belly up in a bowl.
Back to the drawing board.
