Liklik tok save (little information- update)

I haven't posted since Christmas! Sorry all, I've got three blogs in the works, but then my computer died a week and a half ago with them all saved to the desktop. So, here are some pictures and a little up date for the moment, typed on the iPad.
My ankle is doing well, and I've started some physical therapy thanks to a visiting PT.
Classes are going great for the most part. It been a huge blessing to teach the same classes as I did last year. I'm getting to tweak and add to lesson plans and its going better, especially with my OB class.
Graduation went well and it's great to now see some of those graduates working in the hospital. It's fun to call them "Sister" when they have been use to calling me that for the past two years. I've had three get-togethers with my small group that has grown considerably this year! I've got 10 students this time, (long story), mostly first years, and we are having fun getting to know each other at this point.
Wednesday Night Fellowships have been going well and I'm working with my second year class on a "new" song to sing next week.
I'm preparing to come home for a short trip to be in my friend Colleen's wedding. While this requires basically no packing, (I have basically two outfits here that are appropriate for Illinois weather at this time) I've got lots of grading and prep for classes to be done before I go.
So, here are some pictures of our class on Friday, hands on lesson on learning styles. (And basically, I was just ready to have a little fun with them after some boring lectures on APA writing style! I can only make learning rules on when and how to cite sources so interesting,)

The rules here- build as tall a tower as you can with what you are given. (And then I added other rules each time, like no talking but one, only one builder, but all could talk, etc.) Also, the five building sets where not all on the same playing field. (For one, we don't have five games of Jenga on station, and it wouldn't be as challenging that way either!) They got dominos, Jenga extreme, UNO Stacko, Bandu, and regular Jenga. Bandu has odd shapes like eggs, pyramids, and slanted cylinders so its quite a challenge. I think they all had some fun to end a long week, I at least had fun watching them! The last photo is what happens outside my classroom when it downpours for twenty solid minutes, after raining quite a bit this week.
