Well, the first REAL full week of school (even though its actually the 5th week) is coming to a close tomorrow! It has been a pretty darn good week to say the least. It started off a little rough on Monday, but I believe my 6th graders in particular are really beginning to realize that this is school...and Mr. D. will not stand for not turning things in or turning things in that are clearly not even close to sixth grade standard. Bit by bit they are coming along...and I'm just trying to keep a hold of myself while it happens! :)
But really, I am starting to truly enjoy coming to school on most days which is definitely a plus! Life at our house is great - we had a wonderful spirituality night last night in which we watched the movie Crash and then I led a short discussion! Great topic of discussion to say the least. Mary Rose, Stacy, and I are really starting to get going on our training for the team marathon we are doing in Albuquerque next month! We will be running with Dan, a high school teacher, and Mary, a volunteer from last year who stayed at the special ed school this year as a paid employee! It will definitely be a great time, but getting myself up to running longer than 2-3 miles is a challenge....especially in this altitude! Seriously, it makes a difference...I don't care if you don't believe me! Anyways, we are getting excited.
Coming up this weekend, we are planning on taking a trip to Canyon de Chelly - an extremely sacred place for the Navajo people as I understand. Should be a good day trip on Saturday!
Alright, just thought I would check in. Thanks for reading - look for another post sometime this weekend!
