Certainly, the shopping was anything but streamlined. In fact, these particular individuals all seem to shop the way they -- and I -- think, using the HOPSCOTCH method. It's rare to see the employees at this store stare, but there were more than a few eyebrows raised due to the obvious jocularity emitted from our group.
Once again, today was about connections -- this time with a student, a parent, and a colleague, who all share a love of life, and fascinating funnybones. Quirky is not the right word, nor is there truly a word to describe these ladies. One did comment on facebook:
"This is unlike any experience I have ever had to date."
Honestly, I wanted to respond: "My work here is finished."
Unlike anything...
How amazing would it be if students came out of my classroom feeling this way every single day? Slightly giddy -- okay, maybe more than slightly -- and with their minds whirling at a speed previously unknown, trying to make connections that are meaningful in their brains. And then the next day, experiencing the same thing, after a different activity?
Would this scare the OCDers out of their minds? Would it thrill the ADD and ADHD population? What about the nit-pickers?
Unicorns. We can't find them because we don't know how to think like them. Maybe randomness is the key to success.
