Yesterday, my Head of Department came over to talk to me. She wanted my inputs on whether the Spelling Bee should be scrapped this year because of manpower constraints.
As the organiser of the Spelling Bee for three consecutive years, this really fired me up. I thought it was a bad idea to scrape it because having a signature program is instrumental to boosting department morale and capturing student engagement. So, even though I was exhausted, my mind was furiously thinking about how I could make things work.
I guess I was intoxicated by this problem because I was coming up with spelling words while getting my two kids through the routine. And today, during my commute to work, I worked on the finer details of a truncated version of the Spelling Bee. By the time I reached school, I was more than ready to present my streamlined version. I was in fact stoked!
How about you?
