I think it’s colder today than it has been so far, either that or my weather thing is off. It says 43, but it feels warmer than that…maybe because the sun’s out; although it has been wrong before, so I’m not sure.

My one day work week is over!!! Two days off, work a day in the middle, two more days off…I can handle that! First hour Marina and I reviewed a bunch of things with 1A; things like numbers, healthy habits, salty sweet sour, hard, soft, rough, I can bend, turn my head, jump, stretch and the five senses. They then did a workbook page in which they had to draw one healthy and one unhealthy habit. They had just gotten started and then this little girl started crying. Marina asked her what was wrong, she stood up and threw up everywhere. It was NASTY! So Marina went and helped her clean her clothes, called her mom and someone to clean the classroom. I stayed in there and tried not to inhale while breathing. It was gross. Poor little girl, though; she came back to get her things  and she was crying and crying…I felt bad.

Second hour I was glad to get out of 1A and head to 3A. I read with the class a few pages from new level four readers they got…they were excited for them! We read about dreams and nightmares and Disney World, in Florida, Paris and apparently Tokyo as well. We also reviewed the alphabet, sang the song and they spelled their names and classroom objects. We did the same in 3B last hour.

Third was five-years B. We reviewed some vocab from last week (car, swing, dolly, etc). I played a “game” with them in which they had to find the object I said. Afterwards, they drew and colored a stocking red and ate their snack.

I made some fudge on Monday and brought it to school today. I think they consistency was better than last year, it was harder, but it still wasn’t as hard as fudge should be. The good thing is Spaniards don’t know the difference and they all loved it! There was still quite a bit left, so I put it in the fridge and asked a couple of people to get it back out on Friday.

Fourth hour was 4B…which was terrible! Analen left to go make photocopies and was gone for at least ten minutes. In that time there was fighting, yelling, chasing and name calling. She came back with only a few minutes left in class and I told her I didn’t want to come to that class anymore. She understood and was like “Yeah, if I had a choice, I wouldn’t come back either”. But then I went to talk with Aurora and she and Alejandro said that wasn’t possible and they would talk with Analen. So I still have to go…BOO!

I’m fairly certain there’s mass tonight at 6:30 for the Holy Day tomorrow; I hope so anyway, otherwise I’m gonna have to go at nine tomorrow morning! I need to stop by the store also…I’m almost out of bananas and everything will be closed tomorrow!

Xoxo,
