8 more days of school left...


I can’t believe we just wrapped up our last FULL week of school. Tear…

I came just back from a massage J My body really needed it. I’ve been working such long hours that my body has been aching. Now I’m feeling refreshed to finish off the last 8 days of school!

This week, the 5th graders dissected squids in the school’s butterfly garden. We stopped by but they were heading to lunch so our class went over the big squid station and looked at the squid. I heard from previous students who touched the squid that the smell did not come off their hands after washing it three times so I didn’t let the kids touch the squid. I put on gloves and held up the squid and we just looked at the parts of a squid and talked about it. The texture and the smell were not very pleasant. Let me say…this was digusting. In any other case, I would not have done this but I did it for the kids. Now, that’s love! Lol.


 
 
Also this week, since my morning class is ahead of my afternoon class, Mrs. Ruenes’ 3rd class and our class got to hang out Tuesday morning. My first graders buddied up with a 3rd grader and they did friendship posters/crafts with each other. It was awesome seeing them really enjoy talking to older kids. The 3rd graders were very nurturing towards the little ones.
Most of the kids wanted to take home their proud little project they did with the 3rd graders.


Silly Quote of the Week:

N: “Cô Tracy, how come you were born in Texas but you’re so Vietnamese?”
