First half of May in pictures

Oh man. This month is so busy. Here are a few pictures of what I've been up to, including taking my class to see two plays at the Dupont Theater, going to Border Cafe for a lovely grad school celebration dinner organized by Kristin, fingerpainting (why do I do that to myself?), acting out the Good Samaritan, visiting Brittany and baby Khloe, generally having fun and goofing around with my students, taking two girls to Chick Fil A for Veggie Tales night (they got free meals if they wore costumes!), and going to the Enchanted Woods and Winterthur Gardens. Wow! And it's only half done.

I also wrote a blog post for the Urban Promise website which you can read here.

Big things yet to come in May include road tripping out to Grove City and Pittsburgh for Jenn and Albert's wedding and to hang out with Cassandra, the Philadelphia Zoo field trip which I'm in charge of planning, field day, spirit week, and probably lots more.

Am I watching a comedy show?

Another week of school has come and gone, full of strange happenings. For one: one boy in my class often throws up after lunch. I'm not sure if he just eats too fast or what, but it happens about once or twice a week. On Tuesday (I think. The days all kind of blur together in my brain.) my class was especially hyper in the cafeteria, and I moved boy-who-throws-up to a table by himself so he could calm down a little. Well, while he was there, he threw up. Luckily, no one was sitting around him. So I went into the kitchen to get things to clean it up. While I was in there, another boy laughed at him for throwing up. Now, this boy laughs at everything, but unfortunately, boy-who-throws-up is also extremely extremely sensitive and gets angry at the drop of a hat. (Did I mention I hate cleaning up vomit???) So I come out of the kitchen with my bleach and my paper towels, and kid-who-throws-up has kid-who-laughs in a headlock and is punching him in the stomach. I hustle over to them to ...

Last Day of School

Well, today was the last day of school. Dismissal was at 11:30 today, and my last student left just about 45 minutes ago. It definitely hasn't sunk in yet, but I'm sure it will at some point. I'm not sure if it'll happen gradually or all of a sudden. Graduation last night was a big success and I think helped me and the students to get some closure. It turned into a pretty big, over the top thing, and for a while I was really wondering if trying to do this was a stupid move on my part. Thankfully, Justin's church, Wilmington City Vineyard Church , volunteered to provide refreshments and help with setup and cleanup. They were a huge help, and it made everything way nicer than if I had just done it myself. I was just planning on throwing a pack of cookies and some juice on a table, but they had tablecloths and healthy snacks and got me folding chairs and all sorts of helpful stuff. I'd say there were about 60 people there, plus my 8 students and the volunteers from...
