HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!!!

The weather must not be in the mood for celebrating the day because it’s an overcast, blustery day…perhaps a Winnie-the-Pooh Valentine’s Day. The temperature itself isn’t half bad, considering what it’s been lately; it’s a scorcher at 45!

Today was easy and repetitive. With the three fifth levels I went over this really simple PowerPoint about the symbols and customs of V-Day, which would have been better for younger levels, but both Rocío and Marina said to do it anyway. In Rocío’s afterwards did this worksheet where parts of the words were placed into two columns and you had to match the correct suffix to the prefix. For example HE- was in one column and then –ART in the other. Marina’s class did a word search instead.

Marina was renewing her driver’s license (I think she said) in the morning so she wasn’t there for 1B and I had a free hour…nothing really to do, just kinda hung out.

Analen had 2B do this worksheet about animals. They were given a grid of sorts, with animals shown vertically and actions (like run, jump, fly) shown horizontally and had to either check or X each box. After that they had to color the animals on their vocab page.

Well, the battery in my food scale has died :(. I’m a little miffed because I’ve only been using it since the end of September and I thought they lasted a lot longer, otherwise I would have brought another. I started seeing the low battery light on Sunday, so right away I ordered another one…that scale is, like, MY LIFE! I got an email that it shipped yesterday (from somewhere in the UK) and I’m hoping it’ll arrive by the end of the week! I’ve become such a Nazi about my food portions; I don’t like not knowing an exact number…I’ll have to guestimate the best I can. :I

Xoxo,
