Yr wyf yn dysgu rhai pethau pwysig yr wythnos diwethaf

The title means "I learned some important things last week". It is very true. Last week was one of the best weeks of school I have had all year. It was so much fun and I feel that the kids really enjoyed themselves. They were all very creative and full of energy. Mrs. Myers was also so easy to work with and full of great ideas. She is definitely the expert on the children and knows how to keep them straight. If you have even met a little child, you know how crazy they can be! I also commend the Senior class and the 5th grade for tying for the most people on "The Square" activity. Both classes got 11 people on the platform. It was insane! I was involved with the Senior group and we tried many painful methods. I was impressed with the 5th grade because they were able to do it so easily. I wanted so bad to beat the kids at my own game; but alas, we tied :( Oh well. The plan is now to do the activities with the Girls Varsity Soccer team and hopefully do it on the first club day in March with the teachers. This way they can wear jeans and do the activities while hopefully some students snicker on the sidelines at their problem-solving. It will be interesting to see whether the teachers, who encourage and teach us how to collaborate, can rise to the occasion and finish the challenges.
