Actually, the countdown to Thanksgiving break probably started about 2 months ago, but now that there is only one day left, I am counting down the hours! 24 hours until I am on vacation, 39 hours until we leave for New York, and 153 hours until Thanksgiving. Bring on the turkey!
I just got back from taking 57 eighth graders on a field trip to Merkel to see the Anne Frank exhibit they have on display from the Holocaust Museum in Houston. We read The Diary of Anne Frank in January, so this is just an introduction to the unit. They had a nice exhibit set up in their library, and gave guided tours.
Brandon and I taught our huddle class last night. Did we have that much energy when we were freshmen? In my youth group at Minter Lane, we had about 15-20 people in the combined high school class, so I'm not sure what typical behavior is expected when you put 30 freshmen together in a room. It is loud for sure, but I'm glad they're energetic and friends and like hanging out together.
Have a wonderful Friday and enjoy your Thanksgiving!!
