skype to the rescue

Friday.....the last day of the week. And what a week its been. Monday is a national Holiday so I'm planning on taking a trip to Portugal this weekend. Pictures to follow I promise.

At school I had a full day of school prepping for other classes. I had to created an activity incorporating the 5 senses and then one incorporating the food pyramid. It really doesn't take me long to create a worksheet once i know the topic of the unit and the goal of the sheet. Pocho is always so impressed when i finish producing a worksheet within a hour or two. she says it takes her a long time to create anything on the internet. I pride myself on being diligent and hard working so was glad to have gotten both activities finished before the weekend. That allows me to focus on my tutoring sessions for the rest of the weekend.

After school i had a session with three 7 year olds. Marta, Maria, and Diego. They were mostly cooperative but they liked to speak Spanish and I had to keep repeating "Solo Ingles o no habla!" I got through all of my activities with good time and i think i was pretty well prepared for this session. they really liked looking at my pictures that I had brought from home so I'm excited to share with them all the goodies i brought. Those pictures were just the beginning. When i showed Diego that pictures from the World Cup his face lit up and he got so excited. It was the first time my World Cup pictures got the reaction I was looking for. After the session was over I even played a little soccer with him as we waited for his parents. Also, once again Toni offered me food. This time in the form of birthday cake from her daughter's birthday the day before. She told me that her mother had brought it but that it was coffee cake and little kids don't like coffee so nobody had really eaten it. I asked for a small piece and she loaded me up with a tupperware container full of it haha. She is just to kind. I enjoyed the session with the kids but because it is on a Friday I think I'm going to have to pawn it off to Corrie a little later. Boohoo. Alright my time at the internet cafe is nearing its end and I've had it up to hear with all the slamming of ping pong paddles. As i wrote this one boy came in and just starred at my computer screen as I typed. I was like "can i help you?" He introduced himself and asked where I was from and then exited. Okay??!! I gotta skype, hasta luego!
