Fly on the Wall

My class has been a fly on the wall for the past two days. You probably don't know what I am talking about so I will explain it to you. We were learning about observation, so as a example my teacher took us around the building, dropping us off with our notebooks, and he told us to write down everything we saw or heard. He also told us if we had time we could write down little comments. Then after 10-20 minutes he would come and take us to the classroom. When we got back to the classroom we would compare notes.

I think it's fun because the first time I was in front of the nurse's office which was really busy. There was 2 or 3 kids that went in there in just 10 minutes. They didn't look sick nor hurt at all. What I thought was kind of funny was that every time a kid asked to go home the nurse said they could go home in the number of minutes until school was over. For example it's 2:42 and a kid asks to go home, the nurse says they can go home in 18 minutes. Also since it was right next to the lobby there were a lot of parents picking their kids up early.

The second time I was by the janitor's office which was dead quiet. Which was fine with me because I could listen more closely to things, and write more comments, because I didn't have to write down the 2 billion things going on in the lobby or by the nurse's office. I think being by the janitor's office was more fun because she left her radio on so I was singing with the music. Except, since I had no idea what the song was I made up the words. Which I thought was more fun and funny because none of the words made sense and just a few things rhymed.

Also since nothing was going on I could write lots of comments about the music. It is really fun.
