friday...friday
a normal day as i head out the door, except i`m alone because melissa is sick. but that feeling only lasted a couple seconds as i see completely stopped cars and one side of the street there were no cars...only people walking-some running. Apparently there was a protest because a lot of people in santa fe do not have water right now (and haven`t for about 2-3 weeks). They didn`t get a warning that the water was being turned off and they say it was for repairing a pipeline, but there are doubts as to the real reason...
I arrive in my classroom before the kids and I was very surprised and excited to see all new tables and chairs. Soon after the kids finished breakfast and i was so happy i got to see all their SUPER excited faces for the new tables and chairs. =) Poor Cristofer was so excited because he got new tennis shoes, but all the attention was directed at the new tables and chairs so he came up to me probs because he knew i would acknowledge his shoes, which i did and we were excited together. =)
Lucy is trying to get the kids to learn the days of the week and someone guessed Domingo (Sunday) everytime a kid guesses a weekend day Lucy says no we`re not in school on that day. So when someone said Domingo she said no what do we do on Domingo. Jacky said we see our dads on Domingo. None of the kids thought this was strange at all...
I continued to prep for Christmas activities for the kids. Apparently we are making kleenex covers that look like houses with snowmen and windows with glitter, etc. So today was window day for me. I also cut out more noche bueno (poincettas...i will never know how to spell the name of that plant) leaves...i think i`m done with that now.
We started learning We Wish You A Merry Christmas in English class. It`s a little different version than the original...the verses include
-let`s all do a little clapping
let`s all do a little clapping
let`s all do a little clapping
and wish you good cheer
-let`s all do a little jumping, etc.
The new kid (I think he started Tuesday) told me te quiero (i like you a lot) so that should be a good sign...right? let's hope he doesn't become a trouble maker.
Murat (who's usually not a very patient kid) cleaned up all the gold glitter from the floor, put it on the front of his sweater and said "Look i'm like Michael Jackson". That kid loves michael jackson. i had to laugh and didn't yell at him at all. i mean it was on the floor to begin with and that's where it was going to end up again.
I went to the park to go running after work and on the way home I got on the bus for it to instantly veer into the other lane (the one with on coming traffic)...which isn`t all that abnormal. but the good news is: we did actually stop at the red light (doesn`t always happen) we just stopped in about the middle of the intersection. Well, I`ll take what I can get.
So that was my Friday. =)
