Weekly Happenings

Me and Baby Flavie!!

      Monday, we sent home progress reports which means the 2nd quarter is already half over. I was so excited to start teaching the Christmas song to my Kindergarteners. They will sing it for the Christmas concert the first week of December. Tuesday, the school had a late start. Our vertical science team meeting was rather stressful because everyone was writing authentic assessment rubrics and trying to fit them into the current curriculum. After school, I went to the HS Choir rehearsal as they are just over a week away from their concert. Thankfully, we had Frisbee that night! Wednesday was out Spanish tutor and Salsa classes. Thursday, Kelsey and I had coffee with Sarah (the Kindergarten teacher before me). It's always nice to chit with her and discuss her experiences teaching Kindergarten here. We had a teacher's dinner at the HS Principal's house on Friday night. She lives up on the mountains, so it was a beautiful view as we enjoyed our wine and turkey!
     I would like to take this moment to announce that a MIRACLE has been occurring in our neighborhood! Street signs have been popping up all over. In fact, they have even gone so far as to give our street a name!
     Stacey, Keiko, and I went to dinner at a friend from the embassy's house. They grilled us chicken wings, sausages, and corn; it was delicious. Today church and Frisbee, then time for another long week.
