My husband works in a really nice, huge library. He's the financial director of it, so even though he's not a librarian, he gets to be surrounded by books. What a perfect fit for our family.
Yesterday I had time between dropping off #3 at his MDO and teaching my class at 12:30. What to do? I took a walk, had a late breakfast at Chick fil a and then went to the library.
The walk was fantastic. We're studying the book of Luke at CBS, so I listened to our chapter as I walked. Very cool. Chick fil a is always great and even better when I'm not policing my kids in the play place. But the best was the library.
I've decided I'm going to do a Spanish-speaking country spotlight each week for my older class. I'm going to start with Mexico so I can tie in their Independence Day on Sept 16. Problem is I don't know much about it, but I took the time yesterday to do a bit of research. I had honestly forgotten how much I love learning something new that I'm passionate about. After a bit of reading, I could easily fill a whole class period just on the historical significance of that holiday. Of course, the challenge for me will be how to teach just a snapshot of it. My goal is to introduce it and then make a homework assignment about it if they're really interested.
It feels so good to use my brain again! I love that it's still there and in working order!
