Wow, I can't believe it has been over a week since I posted! Crazy. Last week is nothing but a blur. I have put so many hours into this classroom that I am mentally and physically exhausted. But....it's fun! I told Don that I can't believe I am getting paid to do this :)
Here is an interesting note...last Friday we had to canvass the neighborhood and pass out flyers door to door for our Open House that happens tonight. Isn't that funny? Most of the people were very nice but someone screamed out the window to me (and the group I was in), "get the F @#!$ off the streets....this ain't no neighborhood for you!"
I guess he could tell that I wasn't from around there lol
The homes we went to were mostly trailers and some of the people spoke no english whatsoever. Thank goodness I learned the words maestra (teacher) and escuela (school). Hispanic people hold the highest regard for teachers so once I told them that I was a teacher in the new school I was okay.
I will write more again later...have to go enroll Lindsey then I have to work until 9 tonight. :)

what in the sam hill is going on here?
Yeah, be careful in some of those neighborhoods. I should teach you some more Spanish words. Cieras tu boca=shut your mouth.
Weird that you had to pass out flyers...
THIS IS NO NEIGHBORHOOD FOR YOU
