Oh my goodness....it feels like it should be Friday. And it's only Wednesday. Blah. And there are many 10 year olds in my life that I'm tired of.
So, my students are making a movie about recycling. It's their attempt to save the world :) They've written the script, planned the scenes, done the costumes and now we're filming. When we're done, we're going to edit it and have a premiere party. They are being great about it -- most of the time. It's actually been a lot of fun. Yes, it is a whole lot of work and it adds some pressure to our daily schedule, but it's been an interesting project for us. I hope they're learning something through the experience. When I'm watching the scenes they've filmed or watching them act, I'm often amazed at how mature these kids are being -- the same kids who seem to care little about anyone but themselves and typically don't put a lot of effort into their work.
But this project makes them want to work. It's a great transformation.
Spring is finally here!! I know it's been awhile since spring "officially" arrived, but the weather is finally agreeing. We've had amazing weather for several days now -- warm, nice breeze, blue skies. The flowers are beautiful and blooming. Mmmmm. I love the spring.
I avoid things. I've realized this. And I'll discuss later.
I'm reading Love in the Time of Cholera. It's wonderful. You should read it.
