Today, when I got to Los Cerritos, the kids seemed really crazy and  energetic but I managed to pull through and be stern with the kids when they are playing around too much. But when I got there, they acted like they were monkey's in a zoo because they were so hyper and it was a little hard to grab their attention. After daily writing and board math, we split up into groups. Ms. Wood had me have the kids ordering number 1 to 10 that were mixed up on a paper. So basically I had the kids say their numbers 1 to 10 on an example paper that I had then I gave them a piece of paper with the numbers on there and had them cut out the numbers and put the numbers on another piece of paper that was given to them and they were to put those numbers in order since they were all scrambled in the first piece of paper that was given to them. It was a little frustrating because since the kids were crazy they weren't really listening and they almost started gluing random numbers when they were supposed to be gluing the numbers in order but I had to be a little strict at that point and told them that if they weren't going to listen that they were going to be moved down on their stars and they got sad and started to work hard and try to do everything as best as they could. So today was a little frustrating.
