Day 83

I have survived the first week back from the holidays. I am pleasantly surprised how well my students have done. They are still a little noisy, however I expected that this would happen. On Friday our art project was Lego art. I had purchased some candy Lego's and gave each student 25 of them. They built several items to include to see how tall they could stack their Lego's, 24 was the winner.

I went out again today at lunch recess and played tether ball (one of my students challenged me.) Things were going even and I stepped back and slipped. I fell flat on my butt & back. I was not hurt, just surprised. The secretary checked on me to see if I was hurt (something to do with workers comp rules.)

My students left at 1:25 as they do on Fridays. We had our monthly team meeting and wowed them all again. In fact the assistant principal said the 5th grade team was the school "dream team". They school administration refers to us as this because we do so many things right. It was nice to hear the complement. I left at 4 p.m. and went to the open house at the local university.
