Week Seven was a Slice of Heaven

Week seven was kicked off by the start of National FFA week. Our National FFA Week at McGuffey is a little different then the normal week at some other schools. We had different spirit days each week and the students were very excited about the week's activities. On Tuesday, we had a work day of getting ready for teacher appreciation day which was held on Wednesday. It is a day where the students celebrate the teachers and show off what they have learned in class. It was quite the rush getting ready and having that day with the students. I was so proud of my animal science class for creating a working udder for milking a cow. My greenhouse students also did research on the aquaponics system and created a poster to teach other students and teachers how the system works, and how they could use the system in their own classrooms.

Lastly we ended National FFA week by celebrating all day and having games where we were against Mr. Leasures classes vs. Mrs. Cambruzzi's.  We had a lot of fun all day, and it was neat to see the students really get into the games and be competitive.

One thing I had to work on this week was relaxing. I needed to put all my strict educational objective aside, and have a little fun while working on organizing and team building. It was a good week, and I will need to work on my organized chaos a little more, but it was quite the successful week!
