I spent part of the day Saturday at a resort for training for this YEAH program I am the advisor for. I got to bring my 8 students with me and Anna, the third grade teacher came along as well. My students did excellent. I was SO proud of them! They had some really really good ideas for how to improve the health and fitness in our school. And they got pretty excited about the project. Not to mention they fed us some amazing food and gave us some really good information. It was one of the first days I can say I truly am starting to love my job. Yes, I have always liked it, but Saturday was just a cool opportunity to see some of my students in a different environment and to get to do something a little more fun! As much as I enjoy planning lessons and writing tests, I think this project will be a nice break and give me a chance to really mentor and work with some of my students in a more one-on-one basis. Plus it will benefit the school as a whole because being healthy is always a good thing!
