Did not want to get out of bed today. But I did it for the kids. J But I haven’t gotten much sleep recently, so that’s probably why. Tutoring this morning with M and E. They were making their animal books and reading a story about Lambikin. They did really well on the comprehension questions! After tutoring, it was time for ESL. Again, today was spent reading our novel (11 pages left and we’re in the middle of a murder!) and finishing our penpal letters. Too bad one of the ladies wasn’t there, so I’ll have to hunt her down tomorrow to make sure her penpal gets a letter this week!
T and I had a working lunch today. We made copies of all the preschool work to keep here as examples, sorted the preschool papers, copied and assembled packets for Friday, and created certificates for our students. Then it was time for lunch and a much needed nap. J
Second last preschool today. L We did letters V (show me your violin!), W (check your watch!), and X (play your xylophone!). T and I couldn’t believe that we used to do one letter a day and now we’re up to three. But with some luck, we’ll finish in time! J Then the kids can all have a book of all their letters. They’re getting pretty good! We did some songs, playing, and storytime in there too. Then, on Wednesdays, Mr. D&D has kickball with the older kids, so I took the preschoolers next to the kickball field to help play together. We had a few second and third graders join too. The field was tiny—it was so cute! I had to end the game sooner than I would have liked because I was being surrounded by the kids who were supposed to playing! Instead of waiting their turn to kick and playing in the field, they decided they needed to lay their heads on my lap, braid my hair, hang on my back, play with my necklace and earrings, etc… It was just the pitcher and the kicker playing for awhile, because obviously surrounded the teacher was more important. Obviously. J They’re so darn cute, though. And the little kids, too. I made sure I held one of those cute little goobers before going on my walk to the market for some apples, peanut butter, and chocolate. You know, the essentials. J
I spent the evening doing the following activities: eating supper, responding to emails, taking pictures of student work, prepping for tomorrow, organizing teaching materials, watching Kungfu Panda, and crossing things off the to do list slowly but surely. Hopefully it’ll all get done in the next 9 days!
