Hike up the Mountain

Well let's see, last week was a VERY busy week. My brain hurts from it. So Wednesday went a lot better than the day before. Joe and I had another VTC for math and this one was a lot better! The speaker kept things light and told jokes. It was very informal and fun! So we had that in the morning for three hours, which was alright because it was useful so I didn't feel like I was wasting the day. Then in the afternoon we had another two hours for the technology portion for math. The speaker was very helpful and had everything ready and helped when people needed it. It went very smoothly. I think Tuesday was a learning day and this day was for improvements.

So that was two days of not working in my classroom and I hadn't even started lesson planning yet! It's now Wednesday, school starts Monday, ahhhh. So after our VTCs, Joe, Jori, and I all went for a small hike up the mountain. The path, if you wanna call it that, is a death trap for a person like me! Very slippery, narrow, and the grass had holes in it from the birds. The hike was so much fun, but I'm not sure I'll make it to the top because I am klutzy and have a fear of heights. But I am setting the goal to make it to the top by the end of this year. So we'll see. It was so pretty at the height where we stopped. You could see forever, it was beautiful!

Then Thursday, Friday, and even Saturday was spent lesson planning and getting last minute things done in the classroom. Last night I finished with lesson plans up to Thursday and I spent today doing nothing. It also felt so good to sleep in.

This is the mess I was talking about

The hike up. See our house?
