I thought I'd spend a minute or two going over the general happenings at school. Over the last two days we have had 6 new students enroll, one K, one 1st, one 3rd, one 5th and two 7th graders. I've spent the day checking in on them, and the seem to be adjusting well.
Today Mrs. Olsen was out ill, and Mr. Anderson (Mrs. Anderson's brother-in-law) substituted. He has lived a fascinating life, having spent 8 years in a school in Botswana (400 miles down a dirt road, in a grass hut), and a few years in Japan and is an amazing artist. I was observing in the room today as he was telling some of his stories and showing some of his artwork to the eighth graders. They were impressed!
In noon-league softball, the Angels are now the only undefeated team, holding off a hard charging Dodger team yesterday.
This afternoon, Ms L. (that's how she introduced herself) was working with the students in Mr. Calbert's class doing improv acting lessons. The students were very involved, and I had a good laugh with them.
It has been absolutely beautiful on campus. Several of the trees are starting to get a touch of color on the tips of their branches. We are getting a healthy collection of sweatshirts in lost and found, as it is quite chilly in the morning, but come lunch time students are peeling off their outer layers.
