I never thought that I would be back here. I am though and surprisingly enough, I am loving every minute of it! I have however forgotten how boistrous 5th graders are. I can't remember when I heard so much chatter! They all sound like magpies to me: loud and louder. I am having fun though. I have been teaching a little bit for a couple of groups this past week, but we really start getting going this coming week with a bunch of school and scout groups coming up. It looks like it will be fun, but extremely busy.
Training was great, and my co-workers are great. They all have very distinct personalities which makes me happy. And so far, we all get along very well because of all of our differences. Always a good thing when there is teamwork going on. I think though that it will take a little while for us to get to that "performing" stage of group dynamics. I have a feeling that it will come soon, but only after some more group work and activities working together. That's just the way things go sometimes.
But, I have been going on some great adventures and explorations of the area around the Wisconsin River and exploring the sandstone dells along it. Really picturesque and I had some friends fooled that it was Utah they were looking at and not Wisconsin. So enjoy them and I'll post more as the adventures grow...
