In a few moments of spare time, we relax in the teachers' lounge. - hallway
The "hallway" at Markham. The campus is all open to the air. Teachers straggle in. - Friday afternoon 3
Until the TFA staff has something else fairly ridiculous for us to do. - Team building
Team-building! Whee! We get unnecessarily close with our CMA groups trying to make our way across the grass on posterboard lily-pads. - Bryan keeps building
Bryan keeps building - Leslie and Bryan cook
They miss the kitchen! With one set of camp silverware and one set of camp pans, Leslie and Bryan valiantly attempt a meal in Leslie's pittance of a kitchen. It turns out marvelously. Mom's spaghetti sauce--always the inaugural meal. - Sand castle begins

Back wall of our classroom, featuring some posters I made on parts of a paragraph. - CS session 2
All the teachers now in class. During the morning when we're not teaching and all afternoon, we teachers become students again. Usually pretty bad ones. There's this decompressing period after you walk out of the classroom during which we are, for all intents and purposes, 13 years old ourselves. - Sand castle finished
We decided our sand castle would incorporate several civilizations. A Norman castle keep, an Egyptian pyramid, a Sumerian and/or Mayan ziggurat, and the Great Wall of China. We are HUGE nerds. - Leslie the ocean
This weekend, Bryan comes! We go to the beach. - Friday afternoon 2
Relaxing in the grass on campus for a few minutes, after a loooong week. - Sand castle planned
