Construction 102; Third Period, Friday [07/13].
When the kids got to the site for class that day, they wouldn't find anything there but the table of their gear and a ladder leading up to the roof. So it shouldn't be too difficult to guess where their teacher might be. Amaya confirmed it a moment later when her head poked out from up at the top of the building, and she waved an arm. "Morning, builders!" she called down. "Grab your gear, get it on, and climb on up. We're roofing today. Oh, and, please, no one walk under the ladder if you can help it. At least not today."
Amaya wasn't really superstitious, of course, but there was just enough of it in her to make working on dangerous stuff on Friday the 13th was enough to make her a little jumpier than usual.
Once everyone was up and no one had fallen to their death or disfigurement, Amaya nodded, gesturing toward a big water cooler. "Water," she said. "Drink it, often, while you're working today when you can. But when we're not hydrating, we're gonna be finally tiling up this thing. Tiling's a bit more difficult that it looks, but we're going to work through it together, so get ready, grab your tools, and let's get to work."
If Amaya's voice wasn't already naturally a bit hoarse, it might have been by the time she was done with class, instructing and demonstrating as they went along, having them split up to work on the two sides of the roof separately with her overseeing and moving between the two and helping out.
And there really wasn't much too it than that. Straightforward, simple hard work. Just the kind she liked.
