Every year since I've been at the middle school I'm teaching at right now, I've sponsored our Name That Book club. We meet after school a few days a week and then, sometime during the spring semester, we take a little field trip to the competition. Even though we didn't make it to finals this year, they did really well and I was really proud of them.
Then, after the competition and after they got over being sad about not making it to finals, we headed out for some lunch at CiCi's and over to the Houston Public library to hang out for a bit, since they'd never been there. I'd never been there either, even though we lived so close to it for four years, and I must say, it was pretty cool. It was HUGE and really busy, even in the middle of the day on a Wednesday. And, they had this awesome teen room, where you could only go in if you were between the ages of 13 and 18. Because it was a random afternoon and no one else was in there though, they made an exception for us and let our 12 year old 7th graders in--and let us come in too. :)
All in all, it was a super fun day. It's things like this that make me think I might miss teaching sometimes.
