Reflection #12

Last Friday my  husband was in a motorcycle accident on the freeway.  He had surgery on Saturday, and came home a few days ago.  (It happened while he was on duty, so the police department has been both concerned and helpful!  Our LDS ward has also been great with bringing meals this week, etc...) 

Needless to say my last week of field has been interesting.  It has been challenging to balance my school obligations with my family responsibilities.  I was able to teach my last two lessons on Monday and Tuesday of this week.  They went very well.  The kids had a blast, and things went according to planned.  On Monday we set up the teams for the Classroom Olympics, and then on Tuesday we had the students participate in the Classroom Olympics.  

We assigned each student to one of the five Ancient Greece City-States.  That became their team for the Olympics.  They were required to take on the role of an Ancient Greek citizen and act accordingly.  They did awesome!  Both lessons were super fun.  Hopefully, I will have the opportunity to reuse all of the lesson plans I have created, because they turned out great!

Well, I need to head out the door to take my husband to see  his orthopedic surgeon.  Wish us luck.  With luck I will find a way to make it to classes next week.

Till then Adieu.
