*cue Rocky Theme Song*
I did it! I somehow managed to keep 4 groups of 20 6th-graders occupied and safe. Forget about clean and/or dry. I am not a magician.
Everyone's Sanity Vibes did the trick. I wrote an update in that thread already but the quick rundown is that we spent the first 2 hours inside but made it outside for part of the second rotation and then the rest of the day. We lucked out that it was only T-storms there because a tornado touched down a couple of miles north of my house. It got pitch dark here and the electricity kept flickering before I left. it looked like the sun was trying to come out on my way to work but as soon as I got there, it downpoured. We were able to get into the stream later on and the kids were all about finding crayfish. We also found some newts- one was about 3" long, such a cool dude.
As we were cleaning up the supplies, the new intern I was working with saw a blue-tailed skink. I got to see him a few minutes later. This isn't my picture but look at how awesome they are:
The tail really was that bright.
I'd *love* to say that I can take it easy today but I am cleaning for my friend this morning.
*inner child is yelling: But I want scrap today. And garden!*
At least my voice is better this morning. At least I thnk it is, I haven't talked yet LOL!
HAGD!
