You all are so amazing...I hope you do enjoy getting to know the Tico's that were in Afton last month. I hope that you find common strings of interest that will weave you together as global citizens that have the future in your hands.
It is all about connections.

...new quarter new rules...
Ah the beauty of a fresh new start!!
You all seemed to enjoy the new furniture arrangement!! When I told you all that you can sit where you want to...the looks on your faces were priceless...but sadly the grupo de cuatro came together like a drop of mercury would after you try to squish it!!
We have to remember that in my world, it is all about YOU....I am here to be your teacher, to share with YOU the things I learned in college...it is up to YOU to open your minds enough to let me in...not to have a discussion on how you don't NEED to hear anything about what I know...N'est pas???
So that being said let's use this calendar moment to make a fresh new start and Strive for Excellence!!
All I am asking you to do is try...be open minded....shift your perspective....hey, ya never know, you might like what you see!!

Super Bowl Sunday
What a weekend...flew so fast I can't believe it!! My Costa Rican exchange student is leaving tomorrow and I am trying to not be SAD...hard but I will cope!!
We went shopping to Bingo again today, then snow tubing, and once we got home I had to make a dish to pass for the "Tico's" going away party tomorrow. Since all the kids were gathered together I figured I would ask them what they wanted me to make for them...see Melina has been ranting about my cooking....so I figured ot only fair to ask them if they had anything specific they wanted...half wanted lasagna (my lasagna ROCKS!!), and the other half voted for rice and beans. Needless to say I made both...and a chocolate pie.
I also have more house guests today than I have children...lol!! One of the Tico's asked if they could sleep over, and one of Alexa's friends had already made arrangements to stay over last week...so they are "camping" in the girl's room....OY!!
Well the student world has a day off tomorrow...but us in the teacher world have Schoolie Duty tomorrow....hope they keep it down long enough for me to fall asleep without having to go in there and force lights out on 'em....ROFL!!
¡Hasta el martes mi gente!
