Sermon on the Mound

I just printed my last week of lesson plans for the year... It's hard to believe there are only six days of school left!

Track and Field Day got postponed to Monday, so we'll have a normal day tomorrow. Now we have time to pack up the musical stuff during the school day instead of having to pack it up tonight or tomorrow morning. Everything has fallen into place (hopefully) and the show will go off without a hitch (hopefully)!

One of the first speakers of the musical went home sick today... She plays the main character's mom and only has one line, but it's an important one. There really isn't anyone to substitute for her. We had added a little sister to the program to help the line fit better into the musical, so we asked the sister if she would say the line (waking up her brother so he wouldn't be late for the big game). She didn't want to do it. But, the sister's 'friend' in the play was willing to step up to the plate, so we're changing the program so the second girl is the sister (who says the mom's line) and the original sister gets to just be a kid/friend. The mom's line can be ad-libbed a bit, so it's not like anyone has to know it perfectly, and it was very easy to turn it into a sister waking up her brother. "Mom says you need to get up so you're not late for the game!"

Mr. and Mrs. E had us teachers over for supper tonight so we didn't have to worry about eating before the musical. I have a basic plan in place for tomorrow and I have a basic idea of how I want next week to go. Now all I need to do is find time to correct my papers!
