staff development

Today was the best staff development day ever. No breakfast was served, but I guess that is ok. I started off in gym class where I kicked butt in calisthenics. Then we played 'the pin game' which was a sort of dodge ball game. I sucked at it. I have little coordination and little ability to throw a gym ball. But it was fun.

Then I went to art class and made swirly designs on paper and envelopes using liquid water colors and shaving cream. I made like twenty prints and ended up getting shaving cream everywhere... and I have a few new purple freckles.

Then I went to family and consumer science. It was exactly the same as when I took it in middle school. We made mini pizzas and milk shakes. Then it was lunch time. I had a hot dog and a plate full of potluck desserts - though delicious, it was not a good idea in retrospect when my sugar levels crashed.

I went to thing abotu what to do if you get accused of child abuse, and then a reading in the content areas thing for lower level readers which I actually enjoyed -just not working with close minded people. Then I discussed upcoming lessons with my team. I went to the bathroom and realized I was late for aerobics so I did that...

I am not ready for tomorrow, but I have realized that it is not going to happen quickly... so I am going to gather some things and go home for some QT with mom and Karrie and to eat ice cream while watching biggest loser. And I will work on it later this evening.
