I've got some good news, and I've got some bad news. The good news is that Christmas is going to be here in less than three weeks! But the bad news is that Christmas is going to be here in three weeks... Our faculty met after school today for our December meeting. We had a surprise baby shower for the kindergarten teacher who is expecting a baby any day now. She had no idea we were planning a surprise party! There was cake, juice, a fancy table cloth and napkins... there was even some candlelight! But after the cake and devotions we got down to business.
Sigh. The frustrations are back. The majority of our time was spent talking about the Christmas program, which normally sounds like a good thing. But there's some good news and there's some bad news.
Bad news: the students don't know the Christmas music for hand bells, so they're going to need extra time to practice during the week. This drastically cuts into my geography/science time. The good news: During the extra time they're practicing, I get to read aloud to the 1st and 2nd graders. And we're switching geography and science days so we don't always cut science short.
Good news: we're actually staying on schedule with my lesson plans for geography and science. We're barely squeezing in all the countries in the world in geography, so it's really important to stay on track. And now the bad news: it turns out that during the entire last week of classes before Christmas break we are not going to departmentalize. That means we're not going to switch classes. So I will not be having science or geography with the 7th and 8th graders. The good news= not as much to correct. The bad news= having to completely change up my lesson plans so we can have a test before Christmas (so they don't forget everything over their break).
But let's end on a positive note: Bad news- Adam and Eve sinned so now we are all dead in sin. Good news- God sent his Son to take our place and wash away our sins, so now we will be with Him in heaven!
