Just got home from the play at Cityside. It is amazing what a group of 6th/7th/8th graders can pull off. Especially when I have them in class and they can't manage to memorize 14 spelling words! haha They did a great job. The boys loved it and even giggled at the appropriate times. I didn't think they'd understand it, but they did. I think we'll watch the Disney version tomorrow since they have the day off- they want to see how similar it is.
It felt like Friday all day today. My students did a service project and went out in the community to rake leaves, so I think that threw me off. It was raining/snowing and extremely windy and cold, but they impressed me with their desire to help out the community. They had spent the morning having a pancake breakfast and watching Ant Bully (which I bought so my own kids can watch it too), then we went out at noon to rake. We were assigned Parkview Home which has a HUMONGOUS yard, but my kids went at it with a gusto. The depressing part was that it was so windy, that our progress diminished each time the wind blew. My group had to go back to school to early to make hot chocolate for all 130 kids, so at least we got out of the cold earlier than everyone else. Parents had donated cookies, so we set that all up and served everyone as they came in. It really was an inspiring day to know that kids that age really do want to make a difference. However, I am exhausted from the day.
Tomorrow night is Fricano's with the Bells and bowling at Holland Bowling Center. And Saturday, I am squeezing in a cut and highlight and skipping the van search. I would much rather get my hair done for my big night out than look for vans, so we postpone that once again. Oh well- must not be meant to be.
