Practially Thursday!

Hi all. Today is technically Thursday for me. This is because we do not have school on Thursday or Friday, so tomorrow is the last day of work for the week, so it is like Friday. (Do NOT try to explain this concept to any of my students, they may just look at you blankly and say: "But it is only Tuesday!")

Today was a fun day at school. It is very entertaining to watch my PE classes play Lacrosse. It is almost like giving them weapons and a few rules and then letting them hack at each other. I think overall I have filled out three accident reports so far. Does this mean I should not teach Lacrosse? I do not think so. Seriously, we are shooting for diversity for these students and what better than a sport that was invented by Native Americans as a ritual to heal the sick. Very diverse sport, if you ask me. My favorite thing about this sport is that it humbles even the most athletic students. They try to shoot the ball in the goal and it hits the ceiling. Very entertaining!

Health was also enjoyable at school today because we were reviewing for the test they have tomorrow and they decided that the review game we would play would be boys vs. girls. We have played the game many times and they never get excited about it. But make it all about the battle of the sexes and watch out...they are all over it! It made me happy inside to see the boys so competitive during an academic competition.

Well, I am excited for my five day weekend. Sorry to you suckers who have to work a full week. I hope you will survive! later, A
