There has been sooo much going on at school and outside of school that I haven't had a chance to blog. But, I am about to catch you up. :) Get ready...
First of all, Awards Day. Now, I know my school is ghetto to some people, but not usually to me. I must say, Awards Day showed the ghetto side to me. I don't know if it was the singing about just a praisin' Jesus and the ribbon dancers, or perhaps the standing ovation President Obama received when his name was mentioned with the President's Award, or maybe the rude parents. I am not sure, but when I left, I laughed, called my friends, and knew I had just experienced ghetto-ness.
Next is Jr. Beta Club inductions. I am so happy to be a part of this club at school. I love seeing children excited about their accomplishments. We have a lot of students who work hard and love to learn. This year, we inducted about 20 students. After the ceremony, we had cake and punch. The teachers then headed to La Cocina in Southside for an after party of our own. One of friends at school owns La Cocina. The food was amazing.
Then there was a musical production. When I say production, I really mean, about 15 kids who are in the drama club (which, for once, I am not a part of) did a small act of School House Rock. It was cute, but short and since the sound system was down, hard to hear. There were about 5 parents who attended the show and the 6th graders who were in PE also watched. I am thinking the 6th graders had a major impact on the show. They, of course, were loud and disrespectful to the students in the show.
Legend was also born in the mix of all of this!! I will be posting pictures of the cute little boy as soon as I have time to upload them. When I walked in the room to see him, I said his name and he grinned. Now, I know I am biased, but I think he's the cutest baby I've seen in a while. I love him already!!
Monday I went to the K-2 school to learn about the kiddos coming up to our school. Man, we are going to have our hands full!! There are a lot of kids who are really struggling readers, and even more kids that can't read. I am sure we are going to be very busy next year...
Tomorrow will be Field Day for the kids who are still coming to school. Not very many are left. And if they are still coming, they hate their parents for making them come. But not tomorrow. I can't wait to see them playing and having a good time.
Tuesday is our last day of school. I don't know where the time has gone. This year has been a huge year for me. I have a lot of things be thankful for, and a lot of things I need to change for the next school year. Stay tuned this summer as I post about the upcoming school year. :)
