It is finally May!! Mid-May, too!! School is really winding down and my first REAL year of teaching is almost done. I finished my reading class and I'm almost done with my ESOL class. It is just as annoying as the other classes. My seniors have only 7 days of classes left before their first final, and next week is "Senior Week" and their pool party, so I will only see them 3 days. I am so excited for summer! Speaking of summer, my first week of summer vacation will be spent at Girl's Camp. I am the "Level 2 Camp Crafter" meaning I have all the girls Rozzie's age and will be teaching them all the stuff they need to pass off in the camp manual. I get to take them on a 5 miles hike. I get to make breakfast with them over a camp fire. I get to teach them about clouds, poison ivy (Jake - any information?), and all sorts of other things. I have a lot to get prepared. However, instead of preparing for classes, I'm making each of the girls a cute little embroidered washcloth for use at camp, complete with their names on it so they don't get mixed up!!
The Camp Theme is "The Pathway of the Just" and for the cute side of it all, they gave it a "transportation" theme. The 1st level is bikes, 2nd level is cars, 3rd level is trains, and 4th level is airplanes. So, it is all very cute and I'm excited to go and to have Rozzie in my classes. Morgan is excited to be a junior counselor.

I got a gift certificate for PF Chang's (LOVE IT) and Rozzie and Maddie made me a variety of cards. When I got home from church Rozzie and Maddie had made me a pasta dish for lunch and had set the table nicely for me.
Travis made my favorite kabobs for dinner and they were delicious!!
Last week, we finally got around to taking advantage of our Valentine's Day gifts. We went to see "Wicked!" It was really fabulous. Morgan didn't want to go and was having a bad attitude, but then on the way there, she told me she decided to change her attitude. Guess what, she LOVED it. I'm proud of her for making that effort. Rozzie and Maddie were all prepared to get their t-shirts. They were so excited and had saved their money.
Earlier today, Maddie was working on an extra credit project for social studies. They have been doing "Oregon Trail" as a class and for extra, they could do their own scene from the trail. Maddie and her friend decided to do the scenario of losing an ox getting loose and wandering off. Licky is the ox. They are video taping. I asked how she planned to get Licky to cooperate and she said, "treats." They recruited Rozzie. I saw Maddie running around in a skirt and dress combination that was ... interesting. It is just hilarious.

Nice washcloth.
We need more Morgans who are willing to change their attitudes.
I would love to see the Oregon Trail video! That sounds hilarious! But I am a little sad that she's not going to do any marionetting for this video.
Love the wash clothes! so cute. You are going to have a great time at girls camp. Mariah and Micah both get to do trek this year. Can't wait to see you!
