Hump day, hump day!!

So far the week of teaching has gone smoothly! In reading we have been reading a play from the textbook. There are three groups of 10, and each student has a part in the play. One of the students gets to be the director for their group since there were only 9 parts. Tomorrow we are rehearsing and on Friday, we will be acting!! I promise to post a video of the plays!! I am so excited to see how they do. We are also holding a contest, the students who are the best actors (they use emotions and expressions) will win an Oscar (a pencil and baseball silly band)! They are very excited, so the plays should be awesome!! We have our spelling test tomorrow on homophones! Whew is that hard, some of them even get me mixed up. For example- stationary and stationery, I can never remember! Imagine how hard it is for them because they are ELL's. But we have been working hard this week! Yesterday the students made illustrations of the spelling words and Monday they made their own crossword puzzles and then traded them to fill it in. So I think they have it, but I know I will be doing a lot of acting when I am giving the spelling test :0)

Other than that, everything else is great. We went to a Museum in downtown this afternoon. It was The Museum of Honduran National Identity. I am a nerd and love museums, so it was very interesting. We learned a lot about Honduran history. Did you know that for 20 years Honduras was the main exporter of bananas? Well if you did, you are special because I didn't! Now the main export is coffee (cafe) and it is some of the best coffee that I have ever had! Also the museum was created to help instill a since of pride in Hondurans for their country and for them to see where they have come from. Hence the name... So if you are ever in Tegucigalpa, stop by the museum ;)

I want to give a special shout out to my 4th graders back at West Jacksonville Elementary! I know y'all have been reading (Mrs. A. told me), and I miss yall sooooooooooo much! So, next week is the big ol FCAT that you have been waiting for and guess what.... YOU GOT THIS!!!!!!!!! I know how hard you have worked, trust me I watched each one of you try your hardest to prepare. I'm sorry that I wont be there with you during the test, but you don't need me! You have Mrs. A, Mrs. Reid, and you have your brain! That's all you need! So get lots of rest this weekend, so that you come on Monday with your game face on. And if you get nervous just remember that face that I give you when you are mad at me! It always makes you SMILE!!! I miss y'all a bunch and I cant wait to see your beautiful faces soon! Anyways... remember YOU GOT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. watch out for a video of Muah next week :0) You know I have to PUMP YOU UP

Buenos noches mi amores
