4 more days of school to go...and don't forget to tack on the little bit that we will have of Friday, as it will still require getting up before the sun, sharing Mass, and passing out report cards. It's almost time to say goodbye to another school year - and what a good one it was too.
My plan for the week (as far as this blog goes) is to "relive" a few classic and wonderful (or wonderfully wacky!) moments from the year - I sure hope I blogged about them the first time around...
(These are in no particular order, by the way. It just happens to be how I'm remembering some of the events.)
#1 - What's a Whizzpop?
So, for starters on this whole journey of remembering, I'd like to go back to September, when the students were still fresh off of summer break and everything was still new and exciting. It was at that time we began our first literature circle/book club with Roald Dahl's The BFG. Filled with fantastical giants, stories, and sheer adventure, the students really dove right in. You might say we had a whizzpoppin' good time. (And, for awhile, students always got a chuckle whenever someone else mentioned whizzpoppin'.)
Oh, memories...light the corners of my mind...
I think I have a pretty good idea what my #2 is...but that'll have to wait until tomorrow...
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
