Quite a day

Yesterday afternoon we held our Freshmen Orientation at the high school.

Some fifty freshmen attended providing for a good glimpse of the class as a whole. I can safely say that they will be quite enjoyable, even downright mischevious, which is always welcome.

Prior to their arrival, I cleaned out the closet and cabinets in my classroom. It is really quite unbelievable what you can find in one classroom used by a Spanish teacher and a religion teacher: a playdoh model of a plant cell, various ecological posters, American history maps, music appreciation tapes and CDs, CDs of the human anatomy, a music staff thingy for the chalkboard (that's the technical term) and not one, but two, track starter blocks.

I happily dropped the random items into the departments where they can best be used and now my classroom is quite empty. It's a good feeling.

After the freshmen orientation there was a party for the students, their parents and those who helped with the orientation at one of the parents' lakehouse. A good time was had by all.
