The "winter holiday" is over and we are back in session. I have a semi-new class of one student. Yes, that's right one. According to the ELL guidelines we can't have more than 30 students in an ELL class so even though one of my students moved..two new students started in on Tuesday. One of the other ones was transferred to another core class and now is "tutored" by me for 1/2 hour every day.This also allows the school the leisure of having a place to put any other "new" students should they move into our district.
What is it with me an quotation marks, today?....you would think that I have been teaching them but I haven't. One group is starting a new unit dealing with the natural world (everything in the natural world is connected) while the other group is doing narrative writing. The natural world group are starting in on latin and greek root words. We spent most of today with vorare (to eat) with the additions of omni-; herba-; and carne-. Tomorrow we'll look a little at classifying some animals by there grouping.
On a personal note. Christmas was a rush of driving to visit my sister (310 miles one way), baby-sitting my god-daughters, and dog-sitting. Along the way still managed to go to the gym or work out nine of the days of the vacation. So no weight gain...Yay!
we have been blesssed by the light of the world.....

Yay you on working out and not gaining over the holidays! I'm impressed... and working off the 5 I gained... plus others from earlier last year.
Miss you. Don't know how all that time went by without us getting together.
Maybe on the Sunday of MLK weekend? Come up for lunch here at our house and a good long chat??
sounds good, I just got home from working out...actually down 4 pounds from december 2 (day I started the gym). Crystal, the trainer is also a christian, so pretty cool.
