I'm Leavin', On A Jet Plane! But I Know When I'll Be Back Again...
Hey
guys! This last week there hasn’t been too much going on, just a lot of little
things. To start off, I finally got the script for the Drama Club play in March
so Kate and I got to cast the show! It was a little hard because it had been a
few weeks since we saw them audition and, stupid me, didn’t take notes because
I thought the script would only take no longer than a week to get. Anyways, we
both read through it, cast it, and posted the results for everything yesterday
and I handed out scripts today so they could look over them during winter
break. Also dealing with Drama Club, I got exactly 20 signups for London so it
has to go through the hierarchy at MKS to remove students from the list because
of grades, attitude, or various other reasons. We’ll see what happens when I
come back from break.
Other
than that, in classes we finished up our last speeches and performances and
since I only had a few days left, I had to create one-day-lessons. What I ended
up doing was a day of trivia in every class that varied slightly depending on
the subject, stage combat in theatre, and then a free day. I have quite a few
recordings of the commercials-the last performances they did in theatre-and of
the stage fights they created by the end of class when they learned combat.
Today
was an interesting day at school. It was a festival called Global Village where
clubs and departments in the school can organize a booth with their students to
represent a different country and sell food and have games or activities from
that country. The profits go to the department or club. Drama Club did Italy so
we sold pizza, spaghetti and soda so it was pretty fun. We didn’t make much
profit but it was fun to hang out with some of my kids socially (sort of) and
also run around like a child and have it be okay haha. There was a booth next
door to us that was selling the colored powder that they use on color runs. One
of my students asked if it was okay to throw a little on me. Since we had run
out of pizza and weren’t selling much spaghetti, I decided I would let her
throw some at me for a little money. She said okay…and that began an entire
afternoon of kids throwing powder on my face for some change. And I kind of had
my ten minutes of fame. Well, more like 90 minutes but whatever. I think the
students were surprised I was okay having powder thrown at me but it was for a
good cause? Yeah,
that’s it. I have been “packing” my suitcases for like 6 hours now-in other
words, I’ve been cleaning my room, doing a whole bunch of laundry, packing
some, doing dishes, and sitting on my butt. Like now. But it’s okay, I have 3
more hours to go before I go to the airport. And I can be ready in like 5
minutes if need be. So this is where I leave you until the start of 2016. I’ll
catch ya on the flip side!
