Sorry, no photos today. I was hoping to get a nice shot of one of the Teenlet's kites flying in the air, but the wind really picked up after school so we opted to avoid the outdoors.
What has Debi been up to?
This week I am in between student teaching sessions. I finished up with a wonderful 1st grade class last week. I had been with this class since the end of October, so the last day was somewhat emotional with a little going-away party the class threw for me, and all the sad goodbyes. I think I enjoy lower elementary grades the most since most of my experience from the last six years has been with Kindergarten through 2nd grade.
My next assignment, however, is 5th grade at a different school. I'm really going to have to change gears!
How is the Kidlet doing?
I started referring to her as the Teenlet since she started the 7th grade this past fall. I guess she's not technically a teen yet, since she is 12, but she and her friends are definitely beyond the tween stage. She is still playing the bells in band, though she made the jump from beginning to advanced band over the summer. She's already plotting to drop band next year to take Journalism for her elective (or Exploratory period, as the school calls it).
And... she is still in Girl Scouts. She didn't really want to stick with it for another year, but as a Cadette she is taking more of a leadership role in her troop (e.g. planning activities, finding volunteering/service opportunities) and I feel she will continue to gain valuable experience and growth by staying involved in scouting.
