Monday, February 6th

Mondays are funny-weird days some students are full of beans and others are dragging themselves around!
Monday is the day you find you are not as organized as you thought you were and remember all the things you forgot about when you left the building on Friday (and that goes equally for me)!

Clean up. Review day/week's upcoming activities/prep for Dismissal

I tried some mime/ Drama warm-up activities to end the day but 'mime' is a lost art and we need to spend some more time to explain just what mime is meant to look like, 'sound' like and re-create.

Hope everyone has a chance to enjoy the sunshine! Isn't it glorious?
