Day Nine: March 29, 2012

Today was CRAZY!!! It was the last day before the two week Easter Break.  There was hardly any students in school today because there are now two field trips going on, and because a lot of students wanted to start their break a day early.  Today was also casual day if the students paid a dollar, and that just put fuel on the fire.  But, out of all this craziness it was an awesome day.  I was able to talk to a lot of the students more than I would have normally.  We played pictonary and charades in one of the classes and that was a lot of fun.  I got to pick what the students had to act out and draw.  As part of charades I said they had to be their teacher, Mrs. Arcs, and that was the funniest thing I have ever seen.  They were up at the board being goofy and putting their hands under their shirts to give themselves a belly. 

Pencil toppers my teacher made for her
students.

I also got to spend a lot of time talking with my teacher, Mrs. Iris.  She is great! She likes to have my opinion on things and likes for us to think of new ideas together.  She asked me to grade the test from 1E, and we made the key together and decided on the point distribution.  She has been teaching for 15 years, but still likes to have suggestions and fresh ideas.  

We ended school early to have an assembly to wish the track team luck on their meet this coming up weekend.  They called the members of the track team one by one to the stage and the whole school cheered, these students are very supportive of each other.

Tonight was a great time!  We ate dinner at Caroline's Cookin' and I had the Seafood Ceviche.  That was my first time with ceviche, and it was delicious.  It was full of conch, shrimp, fish and fresh chopped veggies including tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots. We then went to Thursday night trivia at the Road Kill Bar.  It was such a good time!  Our team didn't win, but we only lost to the professors team by a half a point.  Its always a good time when all twelve of us get together.
