Wednesday night was a big highlight for me. We had O2 group night, which is when we split up into our small groups and have our own service for them. That night we had decided to make our classroom into "Audax Highschool" complete with lockers, posters of different school extra-curricular's, and whatever you expect to find in a highschool. With just tealights for light in our room, we went around and shared what you would know "if you really knew me". It was a really great bonding moment, and the new leaders really got a chance to know our kids better. Everyone left feeling closer, and I felt like a proud undershepherd of my kids!
On Wednesday and Friday I also taught my first two classes of Creative Art and Design. I love to tell pull out qualities in our students that they didn't even know they had. It's amazing to see their confidence to come out! I'm looking forward to see how the rest of the trimester pans out; right now we are working on our set design for Fall Retreat!
On Saturday night the Audax ladies went out to Target and McDonalds to just be together and have fun! I love our group so much; this year we really seem to know each other a lot better. My first year students are great at connecting with our kids!
I'm starting to realize just how busy I will be this year. All day Saturday, my "day off" consisted of studying and doing homework for my Southeastern University classes. I love what I'm learning, but it is a lot of work!
This week is turning out to be a great one... last Saturday night, my best friend Danielle Klock flew in from Oklahoma for a week!!! Danielle was my roommate last year, and has continued to do great things this year studying at Oral Roberts University. I love her, I'm so proud of her, and I am so lucky to spend the week with her!
