Whew, this week will probably see only a few (if any) posts. My mornings start at 7am, hosting professional development workshops for teachers on how to best use their smartboard software (interactive touchscreen whiteboards) and create lessons on them. Then, when we conclude with the PD's at noon, I rush to Indiana and teach a Falls of the Ohio camp for kiddos from K-3. I really truly enjoy this camp, because I don't teach Science during the school year and it gives me an opportunity to do "exploring" and learning outdoors . The challenging aspect of this camp is keeping the attention and creating engaging, appropriate activities for kids with a difference of nearly 4 years in some of their ages. This may not seem like a lot, but from 5-9 it really is. This is the difference between being able to read and write and not. Also several evenings, we have shown the house to potential renters. The good news is that I have my report cards turned in, found a home for Squiggles, and most of my classroom is packed up (mostly thanks to my husband and his packing skills!)
My life is busy, but honestly I wouldn't have it any other way. :)
It seems a long time since you posted but it's only been two days. I look forward to those emails notifying me of a new post. I can understand though with your schedule that you won't have much time to post. I love the picture on here. That is at the Falls of the Ohio, isn't it? I have pictures of you, Paul and me taken there and I loved it. Thanks for expanding my education of Louisville and surrounding areas. My times spent with you all were some of the best. Those kids are so lucky to have you. I love you, don't get worn down with all you have to do. Until next time...
