"Little Ones, Spring Fever?"


Yesterday I had the opportunity to meet up with my sponsor. When I got there they were all seated listening to what the teacher was saying. I could see although in their faces that they were light years away from the actual lesson. I couldn't really blame them the day was horrible it was raining with thunder and lightning. It felt like a Sunday when you don't even feel like rolling out of bed to drink coffee or anything. It surprised me because I could see clearly that they were a bit distracted but that was just the first ten minutes. After twenty to thirty what I thought was just the rainy blues was coming out short. I worked with "giggles" and I had a somewhat hard time to keep focused. Usually he goofs off but pays attention after I grab his attention. Today he was just melting on his desk along with the rest of the students, I was shocked to see that they were affected by spring fever. He didn't want to even copy what the teacher had written on the board. I felt like I had to practically pull teeth to get him to pay attention and participate. After a few haggle here and there. He managed to pull through but, whoosh was it a challenge! I guess even little ones can get a little spring fever, I suppose they are entitled to some extent usually they are all on fire! I hope that when we come back they will be ready to rock and roll!

  1. Great points. Little ones have the fever, and high school kids get it, only the fever is leavened with hormones, which can make it doubly difficult to focus.
