Adrian in Denver: Last week with the kiddos

I haven't really thought about, that I'll probably never see any of my students again (unless I come back next year), cuz if I did think about it I would probably cry for awhile, so I'll deal with that when the time comes (This Friday).
For now it's just my last week, and I'm just hoping to make it the best, by being excited everyday and teaching system of equations like my life depended upon it. Just wanna go out with a bang. But I'm really gonna miss my students, they were my 1st students. Gosh, anywayz lets move on.

On Wednesday, I went camping along with 27 STARS students and the other STARS teachers and 2 admin (Christine and Jackie). It was my first camping experience, and I must admit it wasn't that bad. Probably for one I didn't have to set up a tent by myself (it's actually pretty simple). I didn't have to worry about food (admin brought and COOKED food. Omg those hamburgers we delicious and that potato salad. omg!). All I had to do was be with the students pretty much. We left that wednesday after lunch (well about an hour and half after lunch. See one of the superheroes (previous students of the program hired to help out everywhere basically) got fired, because she was doing inappropriate things with a student, which is a no, no. and anywayz the admin had to have an emergency meeting about it, to fire her so yeah). Back to camping we stayed until about noon on Thursday. It was a lot of fun. Those students are a trip. Funniest thing from the trip (warning kinda inappropriate) one of my students, yells out 'TITTIES!' so hilarious.

also the boys got the girls back from the sleepover, by concocting this militaristic plan to wet the girls with water. One of the boy teachers, got all mad at the girls, saying there was inappropriate (such a BT word) behavior and that some of the boys were missing, because the boys and girls were separated. anywayz after saying Scott for a second time all the boys ran out and squirted the girls with water, SO Hilarious. The boys were so happy! They stayed up for about 30mins singing this song that was a ridiculous mess about how they wet the girls. But that was like the second highlight of the camping.
Overall again I had a great time, and can say I've officially been camping now.

Also this Friday was YO! which stand for Your Opportunity. This was just a time to get students to think about their future, including high school and college and careers. There was a portion where all the students got the opportunity to be interviewed, which I think was really great. You know you don't get that opportunity when you are in the 7th, 8th grade to practice interviewing. usually you gotta bomb a few first. but that was really kool to see.

There's alot other things I could talk about but I'm just gonna stop here. Need to go to sleep soon for my last week.
oh, here's some pics from the camping trip.
