April

At times, this semester has gone by very slow, and at other times, it's hard to believe that it's already April and we're in the 4th quarter. Our last day of school is June 8th, and then I fly back to Nebraska June 15th. Last week was Spirit  week, where we got to dress up each day, and then we ended the week with a Pep Rally for the sports teams. Saturday was Family Day, and I helped with the Flying Chairs-- and it was fun to be able to see the student's outside of school.

 I am continuing to do tutoring at Leonela's 4 days a week, and then this last Friday I did a workshop for her teacher's on an overview of Reading- Phonics/Comprehension, Writing, and Math. This next Friday I am going to do a 2nd part with a Phonics/Reading strategy.

We have Spring Break next week-- I'm not sure yet if I'm going to do anything or not. I haven't been feeling the greatest this last week, with having a fever last week, and on Saturday, developed a cough, so if I don't go anywhere, it's okay. ;-) Our school nurse took me to the doctor yesterday, and I got an inhaler to use twice a day for a week, and some cough medicine-- so hopefully that will help. Going to the doctor involves putting your name in, and you kind of have an approximate time that your number will be called. The doctor's office is on the 6th floor, so you have to wait in a long line to get on the elevator-- and that takes up some time beforehand. A lot of the places/businesses don't have appointments- -you just wait in line, until they call you.

The Friday before Spring Break, the elementary has a Curriculum Fair with the grades doing various activities for parent's. 2nd grade is having students play math games with parent's, 3rd grade is doing a Wax Museum-- with student's selecting an important person in history and portraying them (dressing up like them and giving info about them), and 4th grade doing a Book Report display board on a book they have read.
