In all honesty, this is my favorite day of the year. I always look forward to the day when I get to see former students up on stage, talking to dozens of witnesses about all the experiences they had in German school, all the while using the knowledge they have acquired over years upon years of Saturday sessions to express those very sentiments.
Also, the food is always great.
Thank you all for an excellent school year. I look forward to the years to come.
Once more with feeling...

9. Mai '15 - Die Schlacht
Today we made history; or rather, we made a picture of history (plus ponies, cartoon characters, and gratuitous fire).
We had a mixed class of 7th and 8th grade today, and we all had projects to work on. The 8th graders finished up their graduation speeches and, for reasons that become immediately apparent when it's revealed that the theme of their presentation is "Memory Lane," they made a giant car out of cardboard.
The class we all know and love, our 7th grade, discussed and then immediately set to work on this year's mural of the Battle of Teutoburg. The planning, creation, and clean-up took the entire day, allowing time for lunch and for hunting down (and then later returning) all of the manifold supplies required for such a work of art.
On a related note, once my student teaching is done (it takes up just slightly more than all the time I have), I will edit down the video made two weeks ago and post it here for all to enjoy.
Next week will be the final meeting of German school for the 2014-15 school year. I hope to see everyone there!
