Scrabble - OMG!
I know I haven't written in forever. My job keeps me on my toes most days! Last year I started a Scrabble club at my school. It was fairly successful with about 25 active students. We had a lot of fun and I was able to receive a grant that has allowed me to purchase more boards, new tiles, and dictionaries. I started up the club again this year and it has simply exploded. Today alone, I had 66 students come to a meeting. I have a lot of new ideas that I'm incorporating this year. I just hope I find time to keep up with it all. One of the counselors approached me today and asked it I was interested in having a Scrabble class for next year. Once we talked about the logistics, I told her that I was interested. I would be able to hand-pick the class. I could really focus on a lot of vocabulary development and potentially groom students to be more competitive. It would be a lot of work. I would have to create a curriculum for it. It would take time out of my day. When I'm gone, we'd have to figure out a substitute situation. But I think it might be cool to give it a try. Now I just have to figure out how to deal with the 66 that are participating right now!
