Back to the workplace today found the teacher up at 3:00 in the morning and attempting to reschedule herself to function in the classroom! We have so many activities to pack into the next three weeks, with so much to learn and assimilate that it makes one's head spin! At the same time, this is what we love about our educational system at GFA...there is a prodigious amount of knowledge to learn and pack into our lives and memory banks, and therefore we never find ourselves bored!
Today we presented book report projects. There were a number that were done quite well and there are a few pictures as I was trying to grade and shoot at the same time! We also got our Forensics shirts and were able to wear them to show them off. Scholars may add these to their normal uniforms to wear anytime to school. Ballots were handed back at club yesterday and discussed. The rest will be handed out in Speech Class this morning.
Thursday was the second day of Hanukkah since it began at sundown on Wednesday. Bella is the youngest in the class so she is lighting the candles each day. We will be playing dreidel with their new driedels and enjoying our little Hanukkah presents each day. The scholars learned the Hebrew phrase Baruch Atah Adonai which begins each evening of Hanukkah in a Jewish home. Blessed be the Lord our God.
The December schedule will go up sometime over the weekend. Be on the lookout. We will have a field trip the second week of December to Mountain Ridge Retirement Home for our service project. we will go spend a couple hours in a checker tournament with the residents and enjoy some Christmas music. We will be working on making small gifts for them this coming week. As soon as we know the date we will be looking for drivers both there and back.
Have an excellent FRIDAY!
