Two weeks of 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade, coupled with 6th-11th grade, mades for a fascinating time, especially when balancing teaching, organizing, arranging, helping, mentoring, reading, editing, and revising. We have a strong team and so it all goes smoothly. As soon as one get tired, the other jumps in.
Best joke of the week? What did the sushi roll say to the bumble bee? Wasabi!
That cracked me up so much that I had to call multiple people to tell them.
We made it to the promenades, recordings, final videos, and reading. We also had an ice-cream social of our own, which was delicious. Oreo ice-cream cones? Please.
I have oil changes this morning, my lawn need morning, and I seriously just want to sit around being stupid. These weeks of summer programs simply remind me how awesome and hardworking K-12 educators are each and every day. They sprint around the globe 15 times before an academic gets out of bed. All love and joy for teachers.
We threw in last minute shape poems at the last minute and they were a hit. Some of the kids created five or six of them. I didn't expect them to take off as they did, because it was a 30-minute filler while some of the kids were sill recording their scripts and revising their pieces of POW! Power of Words.
I am extremely thankful for two weeks of smooth sailing (except the 8 phone/computer chargers left behind). Today's educators have even more to clean up after, when absent-minded kids are given even more to be responsible for. It is something.
Here's to two days off.
