…Me, tumbling down the hill at Giant’s Ridge. That happens to be the show several of my students got today. š If not for the wonderful coaching and patience from my friend, Amanda, I would’ve given up after one run down the hill.
Yes, it’s that time of year again. The time when I tradeĀ in my pride for a pair of downhill skiis. I guess this field trip just comes with the territory… maybe by retirement I will have mastered the slopes!
Aside from falling 3 times on my first run, the day was excellent. The weather was cool, but we didn’t have rain. We got in several hours of skiing, and I got to just “play” with my kids. It seems like there is so much pressure in the classroom these days, there is little time for playing together. And it’s always humbling to let the kids watch as I work to make progress at a skill I am far from proficient at.
I also got the chance to drop in on April’s class in Orr this afternoon. I’ve missed out on meeting her little ones the past couple of years, and I always love to see her classroom in action. She’s got a sweet group of 1st and 2nd graders, and it’s obvious they all love their teacher!
Tonight, I am completely wrecked. Even my hands are tired… how is that possible? So, I’m excited that tomorrow is Friday, and that there will be time for rest. Bill and I are heading to Bemidji tomorrow night and visitingĀ family there on Saturday.
4th quarter starts Monday. YIKES!
I wish I could have seen you in action! Sounds like a great day out with your kids….. I bet they LOVED watching you.
Thanks for stopping in. I still find it funny that my kids are so oblivious that they didn’t even notice you were in our room– always in their own little worlds. THey are adorable, aren’t they?
Have fun visiting the fam…
love you
Glad you had fun. Have fun this weekend too. I have to work (boo). Maybe I should take my patients skiing? That would be a treat. Love you!
