0:00 welcome to arts and ideas in the air under the tent and around Baltimore your
0:04 daily podcast briefing of all the goings-ons ins and arounds or tonight
0:07 is at very school today was a bit of a cold day seem to get colder as the day
0:12 went on although partly it's just lack of Sun we had no JC which was nice
0:18 because we had a really long school meeting I went until three o'clock we we
0:25 elected the people who are going to be running to the staff election so that's
0:28 exciting get that going and she probably gather them and have a conversation
0:37 about how to run this thing and then let's see what else we modified some
0:47 things about JC and how kind of the appeals or rather trying to change the
0:53 language of disputes get handled hopefully that'll make it clearer and
1:00 kind of better but I guess we will see what happens there was some see
1:12 yesterday there was some glue slime making and today there was kind of like
1:18 cornstarch slime making or something making with cornstarch both days things
1:26 got cleaned up so that was good we also announced today that there'll be a movie
1:33 this Friday whether it was looking pretty decent I'm hoping to arrange for
1:38 the fire pit to be around so that people can talk around the fire I'd be
1:42 interested in that while the movie is playing somewhere else in the field see
1:48 we also have the snowball stand open several lots and lots of school media
1:53 members have gone off to that and come back and hopefully not so much mess but
1:59 I think my garbage bag is gonna get filled more and more so I guess we'll
2:04 see how that goes yeah oh we also approve the student self-assessed
2:12 reporting transcript so that still needs to be kind of fleshed out in terms of
2:19 the form and everything but the rule got passed so that we can officially do that
2:24 whatever students want to say that they've done here put it in kind of a
2:29 transcript form and send that off so that's pretty awesome and yeah lots of
2:40 ball playing day to the ball continues to be very popular I feel like I saw a
2:45 Gaga ball that got popped so maybe that's why I haven't seen Gaga ball
2:48 playing for a while but we've got some more that should be pumped up and I
2:56 think we're I'm about to see some chess playing I see some portable chess sets
3:03 couple people I think what they do is they actually set up two chess sets so
3:09 distance apart and we play we play that with one person remotely from the other
3:21 one and just mimicking the move to get moved so that could be a cool thing to
3:26 watch and yeah I think tomorrow we're expecting the for the first time five
3:35 full all five staff members being present at school for the first time
3:42 this year so that will be very exciting all right I did do a very short talk
3:50 about Tuesday basically cicadas and said very school and I was not really sure
3:57 what to say and it was quite short so apparently I didn't figure out what to
4:00 say so enjoy that short talk about Tuesday on cicadas all right have a good
4:07 one and I will see you when I see you
