Home Economics; Friday, Second Period [01/28].

"One of the key skills in home maintenence," said Ignis, getting the class started right out the gate, without any preamble today, "is a certain sense of flexibility. Case in point, I was thinking we might head into our cooking units, which seemed like a logical next step coming out of budgeting and meal planning, but recent events," there was almost a warm smile there, if you knew how to look for it, "made me realize that perhaps a detour may be in order, especially since cooking, particularly for those who are unfamiliar or are just starting out, can lead to quite the mess, and there are a great many things out there that can lead to troublesome stains or perisistant soiling of clothing, surfaces, and egos.

"Now," the grin on his face was a bit more obvious now, "I may not be qualitied to offer much advice on that last one, but I do have solutions for the others, which we will get into in more detail next week. This week, I would like us to go over cleanliness of the home in broader terms. Please note, I know some of you will likely find a good deal of this stuff to be almost second nature or common sense, but what may be old and familiar to some may be entirely new and different to others, especially in a classroom where we are lucky to experience such a wide variety of origins and backgrounds.

"That said, today, we will go over a variety of different cleaning methods, both manual and mechanical, that should cover most areas of a household from top to bottom and all around. Those of you already quite familiar with these techniques, bear with me, and those of you for whom this might be unfamiliar, pay attention. Afterwards, I have the classroom set up into various stations to practice. With that said, let us begin, starting with...where else...sweeping..."

PE and Health Class - Friday - First Period

Dwight had a good feeling as everyone got together for the class that morning. The kids had been making some good progress over the last few weeks. And yeah, this session might be a little more intense for some of the kids, and might take a little more finess than normal. But he still had a good feeling as he stood there with his teaching buddy.

Considering the warning that was dropped last week, no one should be surprised to come into the danger shop that morning and find it set up as a nice, large indoor pool. With a random NPC lifeguard programmed in, too, because why not? Gladio was far too easily amused.

"Alright, everyone!" he started with his booming voice echoing particularly well in the acoustics of the pool area. "We're swimming today! We're all starting over here in the shallow end, and if that's as far as you get, that's fine. So long as you get in. From there, though, we're going to go through a few basic swimming techniques, and you'll have to pass a skills check if you want access to the deep end."

"Right, because while we want you kids to get something out of this class, we don't want to make it any harder on anyone than it has to be," Dwight said giving a slight smile and reassuring nod to Jo.

Gladio, meanwhile, was definitely waiting until everyone else got in the pool so he could push in heckle any of the stragglers, and almost wishing they were starting in the deep end because this would be one hell of a good time for a massive cannonball.

And you know what? Dwight was also wishing for the chance to do a good cannonball rights now too....But at least one of them had to have some restraint right now

"Hopefully you all came ready to go, so let's get into the pool and get started!" Dwight said as he hopped into the pool himself and waited for the others to follow.

Anakin entered the auditorium--dramatically, of course--and swooped up to the stage. "There is a great deal of preparation involved in putting on a production," he began.

Or at least he had assumed so, based on all of the rehearsals he'd gone to for the holiday pageant. It wasn't like he was doing research to teach the class or anything, much to his wife's research-loving chagrin. "So this week for homework, I want you to memorize a poem--one at least a page long, no dirty limericks or haikus, please--and be prepared to present it to the class the next time we meet. As for today--" he pulled out a hat--"we are going to work on our improvisational skills. In this hat are scenes. I will read them out at random and when you get an idea, come to center stage and perform it."

So that would be a thing to watch. Like on that television show Anakin had been watching this week and stolen this from.

Library - Friday

Since Jo’s knee was a lot better than her last shift, she was taking advantage of being able to move around a bit more and be able to reshelve books since there seemed to be a lot more of them that needed to be put away than last week.

In between that she was taking the time to read her assigned reading for class and she was finding that she was quite enjoying it, it was a lot different to last week’s novel and the only thing she was finding confusing was keeping track of how many characters there were in it but so far she was still quite enjoying the story.
