Welcome back, Consuela!
I have a nigh impossible task to perform before tomorrow AM, and don't wanna.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Ugh. Teachers, I need help. The book reading thing I'm doing here is snagged by the manager asking if I have an activity planned for the kids as well as the reading.
I'm not a good teacher. I'm not activity-girl. I'm writer-girl who can read a story. I'm irritated by this, and have no idea how to plan an activity for children.
Any thoughts? Tips? Sharp objects?

Well, it's made things a bit more boring for me but I really feel for the students who have/had online study guides/exams/notes and cannot access them.

I'm not sure what kinds of activities he'd want you to do with them. Ask the kids what they know about bats and then repeat their answers? Have them play a round of Marco Polo in order to demonstrate echolocation? (OK not serious about that one but it would be funny to see them running around with their eyes closed.)

When is your reading, Allyson? I have two bat lovers who want to come hear it.

Because books.
Bat masks would be pretty easy for them to do, Allyson. Maybe maps of everywhere they've been in their lives, a la Sam? You could give them a basic map, and let them color in their routes, etc.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Have cut out paper bats for them to decorate?
I feel like I'm coming down with a cold. Blech. And I had a very disturbing dream this morning. I'm still trying to shake off the images from that dream.

Sounds like a terrific thing to do with kids a week or so before Christmas. Like school does anything productive at this time of year anyway.

Ohhh, if you have bat confetti, combine that with Amy's idea and use the mini-bats to mark out the map.
