Saturday we met up with four of my former co-workers from the high school last year. We are all at different locations this year and it was great to catch up on what students we all still know and where they are, though I don't really feel like we talked about ourselves much and I can't say what anyone is up to now! One of the friends, Stella, asked Steve and I to attend a dance with her that evening and we actually went! We didn't dress up or anything but ended up having a really nice time. There were dance classes to learn a few steps and then people started dancing around the really big ballroom. Then later there was a fantastic performance by teenagers all dressed up in costumes and they performed the Charleston and Viennese Waltz. It was fabulous fun to watch, they were all so good. There was also tasty punch and lasagna and fun Valentine's cookies. So nice. Thank you, Steven, for taking us there!
Sunday was a homestay day and Steve ordered us a heart-shaped pizza, so sweet. We also finished watching all of Steven Universe. What a great show. Monday was busy at school with assignments and classes and after work, I attended a lecture at school about childhood trauma and psychology. Interesting and personally relevant too. Today was computer class and I am so glad to say that I was able to help the kid complete the project, and now we need to move on to the next one immediately. It's a lot of information to learn in only a few hours a week. Tomorrow is ceramics and art which would be fun except I am not sure how to instruct the students, they are very different learners so they all need to absorb the information in their own time and in different ways. I just want to see them all want to try...
Tomorrow I need to remember to go to a Black History lecture series at a different school. It's an author/teacher showing a film about the subject of Black youth and absent fathers and how they grow up and want to break the cycle. I am excited to go. PEACE
