MMMiii!

For those who didn’t know, I was at a Leadership Camp (LC) at the school I’m teaching at last night. It’s actually a two-day two-night event (Friday Night to Sunday Afternoon) but I only stayed until Saturday noon. The participants are kids from grade 3 to 10 (8- to 16-year-olds)

Everything is planned and facilitated by the students. We teachers didn’t really do anything much. All that was required of us aside from eating was to watch over them for more serious issues like injuries or late-night escapades.

The “leaders” of the Camp had some games planned and a couple of smaller kids got hurt. I wondered if these kids had child insurance because the young kids were going to be by themselves without their parents for 2 nights, and most of the bigger kids were not really paying attention aside from wanting to win the games. Although one of the purposes of the camp is to be a “leader” and that includes taking care of the weaker ones.

It was fun. In the morning, for breakfast, they had to make sure that everyone was complete, or else they couldn’t eat. In each group, a kid or two got “kidnapped” and were kept in the faculty room. The objective was for the others, especially the older kids to notice that some of their kids were missing.

Kids are pretty creative, aren’t they?

I had a bad dream.

It was the Monday we were supposed to report to our Department Heads to be assigned Supervising Teachers and Classes for our student teaching activities.

I was rushing. I was running late. I couldn’t find my keys. Some of my colleagues were waiting for me so we could go together. .. But I couldn’t find my keys. I knew I was going home late that day so I needed my keys.

I told them to go ahead, because I didn’t want to hold them back and make them late just because I couldn’t find my keys.
