So I quit today.

Not really.  That’s just a lame April Fool’s Joke.  This morning I observed Neena teach a lesson to the 10^th Graders about the events that led up to the American Civil War.  After class I worked on a lesson plan until I had an early lunch.  At the conclusion of my peanut butter and jelly time, I went to one of the other teachers’ room to help students with their position papers for the Model United Nations conference that a lot of them (myself included) are going to this weekend.  I’m actually pretty excited for it.  I have heard some pretty neat things about the conferences and have seen my kids debate in a similar fashion before in class, so I have high confidence that they will do fantastic.  I essentially spent the rest of the afternoon getting a run-down of what the Model United Nations looks like and helping kids prepare for the event.  Katie and McCall went to buy their bus tickets for their weekend trip to Manuel Antonio, so I even stayed around after school for an extra hour to help out.  After school, I kept working on lesson plans and prepared for tomorrow’s lesson on technology in World War I.  My Houston Astros even won their first game today, so it was a pretty darn good day.
