... everywhere I look around!
It's Homecoming season here at Cristo Rey Jesuit, and you can tell! Not only does the school have posters and flyers on every wall, but the creative ways to ask each other to come to the dance have begun. On Thursday, one of my students asked me what to do if someone she didn't want to go with asked her, and how to let him down gently.
This morning, she came walking toward me with a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a small cake shaped like a rose in the other. The cake said "Homecoming?" on it... two more boys asked her this morning. The look on her face said it all: she did not want to go with either boy. It was pretty funny, but I tried to hide my laughter as I counseled her on how to let them down easy.
Today and the rest of the week are actually pretty easy for me! Between standardized testing, work schedules, and interviewing teachers who will teach a sample lesson to my class, I only teach three classes each day except for Thursday. I'm trying to take advantage of all this extra time to plan and prepare, but it's tempting to just hang out with the other teachers!
Quick update today, but more to come later this week!
