…Me, tumbling down the hill at Giant’s Ridge. That happens to be the show several of my students got today. \ud83d\ude42 If not for the wonderful coaching and patience from my friend, Amanda, I would’ve given up after one run down the hill.<\/p>\n
Yes, it’s that time of year again. The time when I trade\u00a0 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!<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n
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 visiting\u00a0 family there on Saturday.<\/p>\n
4th quarter starts Monday. YIKES!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
