SCA has decided to support the students who are close to proficient on their TCAP scores this summer. In addition, they invited only those students who were known for being well-behaved, respectful students. At first I thought that they should be giving extra help to those who are below grade level, but then I realized that students who excel deserve to have additional help as well. With 2 great teachers, the best 25 7th and 8th students from SCA, interactive reading and math curriculum, and a killer art teacher/secretary (me!), we've had a great start. I relive my days as a customer service representative at Byerly as I watch over the phones and the office all but the 1 hour I teach art.
At first I thought I was going to be really bored, since I finished packing the teacher's lounge in 2 days that I assumed would take at a week. I discovered, however, that Metro Schools does not block 2 of my favorite websites, Fox and ABC. I've caught up on Glee, So You Think You Can Dance, and Modern Family. Sadly, I've missed too many Grey's episodes to catch up. In addition, I've been able to write letters, emails, and just catch up things that I've been unable to do because of limited computer time.
While I'm enjoying the relaxed atmospher of summer school, I'm more excited about going to my cousin's wedding on Friday and then home for a week with my family, friends, and boyfriend!
