School is going well thus far. My school doesn't have an art program so I've found my self spending a lot of time planning art activities for the few minutes a day that each class does "arts and crafts."
I got in contact with the senior school next door and met the art teachers there. So two or three times a week I go to the senior school, where they're doing ceramics, which is my specialty, and work in those classes. I'm planning a mural in the 'hall' of the junior school which is basically the cafeteria. It is a spring scene and each class will contribute to some aspect of the mural. The P2s have made butterflies with tissue paper and the KG2s have made birds with feathery wings. Today I'm participating in the faculty vs P6 netball game which brings back flashbacks of the faculty basketball game I played, or attempted to, at Ashe County Middle School.
All the ASU girls, plus two girls from other universities, went to Belfast and the Giant's Causeway this weekend. It was absolutely amazing.
