Today was the official end of the trimester. It was an exhausting day, but a rewarding one. We had a delay to start and normally I would welcome that, but we were cooking and that is pretty challenging in a 30 minute class period. We made it through, however, with smoothies for the seventh grade, brownies for eighth grade, and muffins in the fifth and sixth grade. All of my FACS students finished their finals, and everyone of the fifth graders published their memoirs.
Lunch was a blur as the eighth graders were in my room for their end of the trimester Subway party. It is a fun way to finish out their time in FACS and learning about nutrition. I spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning before basketball practice. Meg was able to join us for practice today as she took a break from swimming.
After basketball, Meg went to a birthday party at one of her friends. Cam had a big Friday night planned as Cade was over to spend the night. They played the wii, had Nerf gun wars, wore Mario Kart costumes, played Minecraft and ate tacos. I loved listening to them talk as it is apparent that they are truly the best of friends. Doug went to the JV basketball game tonight to watch Cal finish out the season. Proud of Cal for sticking it out, even though it was a very frustrating year for him.
The end of the night was great as Doug and I watched "Little Miss Sunshine." We had heard from several people that it was well worth watching. They were absolutely correct. I don't remember the last time I have laughed that hard at a movie - all in all a wonderful way to end a Friday night.
