Are you exhausted?

"Are you exhausted?  Me too, but we got this."

 I get the chance to facilitate learning to a 156 teenagers 5 days a week.
This past week was a hard one.
Full days followed by four nights of dinner in the car- swim practices, girl scouts,church...Andy quickly picked up on this..."What do I need to take off your plate."
Good man.
Love him.

Midterms this week.  The end of the semester is in sight and then sweet Christmas break.

Some extra bonuses from last week...
One:
I spearheaded a life science collaboration between 7th, 9th and 12th graders in our school district. Their purpose: Create an interactive kit that meets all learning strategies (visual, auditory and kinesthetic).  The kit created will then be checked out and used by home schooled students, home-bound students and students in alternative schools due to behavior issues.

A Super Warm Friday Night
Perfect to use a flashlight to set up a dance stage in the backyard
