I've been knitting all day. I had to do something. Watching The Grapes of Wrath over and over again was making me go a little crazy.
(I've been working on beads. Turns out that they're a great take-along project.)
It was 4th period. I passed out the question worksheet, took roll, and started the movie. Once I got fully settled, I looked up. There was a girl making those beaded bracelets that all the kids seem to be wearing these days.
I probably should have told her to stop. But as long as she was quiet... (I don't much care if they have other work, draw, or do something else while the video is playing. Just so long as they aren't talking.)
It all started out well enough. But then her neighbors wanted to make their own. And somehow the conversations started. Uh, no.
I completely understand the need to do something with your hands while watching a movie. However, I had instructed them to remain quiet and attentive to the movie. So, I had to keep after them to shush.
Sigh. Do I have to go after them for crafty things, too?
