Week in Review

Photos from last week's Teen Trivia Night Challenge (was that REALLY only last week?!):

Our fearless leaders/question maker-uppers Chance and Lori. (Really, I had been waiting as I was taking pictures that night to take one of the two of them together and never could manage. This is kind of a posed picture from the next morning. But, you get the idea.)

Our winning teen team. A couple of baseball players. A couple from my youth group. A good mix of high school students, and obviously pretty smart.

Another smart team: my seventh and eighth grade religious ed. class and friends. They seemed to have so much fun. Unfortunately, the pictures of them dancing during the music category didn't quite turn out since they were moving so much.


Did I mention how much fun it was?!

As for this week, it has gone quickly. With Martin Luther King Day off school and a faculty day on Tuesday (which meant I got to watch much of inauguration day), that left only three days with students. I love teaching! Having had taught elementary school before I wasn't sure how much I would like high school, but my students are a lot of fun. I love to make them think and talk and challenge themselves to learn more. Track started also this week. My legs are tight from racing the sprinters (yes, the boys) in a 400 at the end of practice (I think three beat me, but I didn't do too badly), but I love that, too.

For now, I'm headed back to school for the basketball games. We have a small gym, so I'm hoping there will be room when I get up there. To the big city to drop off some recycling tomorrow. If I'm going to drive that far, I'm thinking I may as well see a movie while I'm there. Who knows what the day could hold...

Peace and all things good.

  1. Hi,

    I'm glad you are enjoying teaching so much. I think that it would be nice to have kids someday, but I don't know how I would be able to handle a whole classroom full of them every day.
