I just finished lesson plans for next week and sent them off to the principal and posted them on my page on the school's internet communication system. Friday will be the 1st of April. There is not long to go now!! Next week will be a grade collecting week. I need to put some grades in the gradebook. I am beginning to mentally check-out but feel I need to collect some data for the grade-machine monster before I can really coast to bimester exam review (May 16th). For me it is very hard not to mentally check-out months in advance especially when you start packing what is going back to the USA and what will be sold or given away here. That started two weekends ago.
In 30 minutes the Spanish department's assembly will start to launch Family Day. We've already had a morning of classes and after the hour long (or less, hopefully) assembly the rest of the school day will be devoted to eating local food (which wll include everything from pupusas to corndogs) and playing games to win little plastic prizes.It is called Family Day because all the students extended families are invited to come and buy food and play the games. I've got a one hour shift hosting the 'Grand Prize Game' (kids try to throw a ping pong ball into a bucket) and 2 hour shift selling drinks. The day turns out being fun. My big problem will be how to navigate my responsibilites, so I can sit down occasionally because at my age if I spend 3 hours on my feet, I won't be able to walk tomorrow. I suppose my aching feet will keep me focused on the here and now.
