Okay i gripe about work but I really do love what I do when i can get it all done well (I think I set some high standards for quality of programming and appropriately so).
My next family night will be for all school instead of just after school programs. I did the last one small to guage what the turnout would be like. So it is Game Night! That means we will have stations of board games to learn how to play mancala and monopoly and scrabble. Lots of families do not know how to play these games and we are about ready to have a winter break with hopefully extra time to play games. It will be with lots of pizza I buy and potluck desserts. I have a small program so I am asking teachers to work with their class on a game and create a poster of how to play it and we will do a few in our program. Of course it will be just some classrooms and that is okay, maybe a game per grade level like Candy Land for Kindies. I am going to have my homework club do scrabble since the kids come even when they do not have homework and we started to play games.
I stayed until 830 last night to get all the data caught up so we can just focus on programs next week. I am unhappy with our base childcare program at this point so on Monday we will be going back to my schedule and my strict standards instead of letting staff make more choices. Still having communication issues and never enough time to do the communication the most productive way. My goal is to have staff more involved with game night and address some issues that way.
And my personal Spanish goal, I can say dia de accion de gracias (thanksgiving) and pronouce good enough tobe understood.
