Someone said, "Math" and I said, "Where?"That's what I replied when a former collegue walked into the meeting and asked what I was doing there.
Yep, someone said that there was a math institute this summer and I found out how I could get involved. It's for two weeks (July 16 - 27) and there are two aspects: kids come in for Math Camp from 9:oo - 11:3o and teachers receive training from 12:3o - 3:00. That's what I call, "FUN." Today's session was for teachers only, ran from 9 to 3, and the time flew! They feed us lunch too, so how can we go wrong? Math + Munchies = Happy Teachers.
The Math Institute is run by one of the local school districts and I am grateful that our Christian school can participate. I get to team-teach with that former collegue for the next two weeks and work with kids who just finished grades 6-8. woo hoo!
This year's theme features flight and
is entitled, "Wingspan: Measurements
and Data Analysis." I'm quite unsure as to all that is involved, but I do know that we get to make and fly paper airplanes at the end!

You are a sick, sick individual. Give me a sentence to diagram anyday over a math problem. Hee Hee. Who's the former colleague? Inquiring minds want to know.

Rhoda,
Do you remember Kay Naff? She and I taught together at Cornerstone in its early days. She's been at Huntington for the past 7 years. Working with her this week I've discovered that she's just as crazy and delightful as she has always been!
