Starting at exactly
midnight, all of our phones were sent to airplane mode and exiled to a basket
where they will stay until midnight tonight.
How was it?? Well...our first Insta-free day proved eye opening. Before 8 o’clock I had reached for my phone at least 5 times, whether to take a picture, look something up, or even check the time. I even felt inconvenienced when I had to find a computer to look something up, talk about first world problems.

Yet the whole day was
not us mourning the loss of our handheld electronics. Midnight also started the
first day of “Secret Angel.” Throughout the day we saw a range of good deeds
from the subtle lunch box notes to hallway serenades with a borrowed pink
flower guitar. #notmeanbutleanqueen
KIPP was Productive!
-We laminated, cut,
pasted, and worked with the short and long vowel sounds!
-Completed a few crafty (and inspirational) bulletin
boards.
-Many Spanish tests
were corrected by our marvelous team of Spanish speaking ladies. S/O to Steffi,
Tricia, Kristina, Leslie and Michelle
-We met with our partner
teachers to schedule our upcoming co-teaching lesson for the next couple days.
While it was only 50
degrees, the impending snow caused school to end early. The basketball game was
canceled, but we made the most of our newly found time. We made up theme songs
for group members and took pictures with those sleeping, with REAL cameras.
#shping!
Our team leaders led a
wonderful compliment card circle which prefaced a feast of three platters of
homemade baked mac and cheese. (Shout out to Momma Steffi!!)
Post dinner, we
continued to decompress by baking, playing music, braiding our hair
together…the usual. Despite the Hootenanny, we brought it together for
reflection, discussing our common and uncommon ground. Yet, the night was still young! There
was still brownies, blondies and Breyers to enjoy. And an even bigger treat...it's SNOWING!
