I am semi-recovered from three days at "camp" with 120 fourth graders. A great experience that those kids will never forget. It's a joy to see them confront new challenges, learning to work individually and in teams to solve those challenges, and coming through in glorious and grinning victory....
I wish there were a way to move this experience to the beginning of the school year. It builds confidence, and it builds rapport between teachers, parents, and children.
But, goodness, my bones ache!

'Yes, we continue that tradition. I think you were my first echo. This year Olivia from our church was my echo.

Your love and respect for your young studunts is refreshing in today's world. I can see why so many parents try to get their sons & daughters in your class...

Thank you, Mother. There are some who tell the principal "Anybody but Shaw" too.
You'll find this hard to believe, Susan, but one of the young counselors knocked down a wall at camp this year! We were all aghast! (Kristen, Susan is the Experience Works counselor who "knocked down" that big rustic primary support pole in the big lodge at Lookout Mtn Camp the night you were my "echo" in 2002. It's a wonder the old building didn't collapse!)

The" one" who said, "Anybody but Shaw", does not talk to me! <smile>
