They're Back! Well, the New Student Leaders, That Is - Sophomores, Juniors, & Seniors Assisting Incoming Students & They Needed to Be Trained

Ah, I'm not sure what year this is. Every time I'm asked to do the training I think, "Maybe I should suggest someone else," and even if I ignore the requests, they keep coming. Eventually I give in  and say, "What a few hours of your life, especially when it's to promote classroom strategies to make a 50-Minute block of time go faster:

• Kick-Off/Write Your Way In
• Pair/Share
• Group Talk,
• Music
• Visuals
• Jokes (Humor)
• Organization / Have a Plan
• Dialogue and Word Exercises
• Theatrics
• Art

I'm laughing that all these kids are the age of my nephew Sean now, who is also in college. This morning, I need to tackle syllabi, a podcast, and get the summer busses paid. Not sure why it is a struggle every year. 

So, we had a 30-second dance party, but I couldn't push Adelle to the side. It's too much fun hearing a room full of anyone singing her music. Max texted me later to say his friends were in the session and instead of whining about my age often, they had fun. Phew. I am feeling it for sure. 

Okay, Tuesday. Onward.
