Today was danger day, the day that tests us, taking us to our very limits, challenging us to move beyond what once we thought our highest boundaries. Today... we read fairy tales.
For the first hour of the day, we read aloud and discussed several German fairy tales, which of course, being German fairy tales, were weird beyond comprehension. There was a dwarf-killing talking bear who turned into a prince, shoe making elves who teleport into your house at midnight, and of course a wolf capable of devouring grandma whole and completely unscathed.
Once the madness was at an end, we next ran our annual obstacle course. With most of the class in a conga-style line with their eyes closed, one at a time a single student would call out commands (Nach rechts, nach links, vorwärts, rückwärts, halt) to guide them through the school, out the doors, around a field, etc.
We ended the day talking about proper pronunciation of common German syllables and running through some tongue twisters.
The homework for the week is for each to make up their own German tongue twister, at least 10 words long.
Mit Vergnügen
