My update
Yes, I understand it's been awhile since I have posted. Let me fill you in:
I finished with students last Friday. Yesterday was my last day at school and I moved my boxes and boxes of stuff of 6 years at that school to my new school, Sheridan Hills Elementary. It's one of our k-2 schools. I'm still not sure how I feel about this move. It was forced on me since my position at RIS is going down to .6 and I need full time. I've applied at a few schools and haven't heard from anyone. Some of them have been hired, too. I'm surprised. I would think that I'm fairly qualified, but who knows... My co-workers are determined to get me hired back at RIS, devising all different ways for me to return. We'll see what pans out.
This year I had a new challenge. I had to direct and manage My First Day Camp this week at the same time, be at school to pack up and move. It's been long, hard days, really emotional, but now that I'm done at school, I've been able to concentrate on Day Camp. This week has been going really well! Almost no kids have been crying. They are coming back really excited! And except for the counselor who only showed up for the first day (yeah, I know, but it's the story of his life!), the counselors have been doing really well. My favorite quotes this week so far: "After we sing these songs, can we sing a song about T-Rex?"; (a boy pretending to be Bartimeaus, the blind man Jesus healed) "Jesus, will you get the blind off me?"
At home, the exciting news is that we got a wii a few weeks ago. We only have wii sports & cooking mama. We have enjoyed it, though. Especially the everybody votes channel.
