another beautiful day...

My camera battery is dead so I can't show you the sky here. If you are sitting in Ohio thinking could any place on earth have more miserable weather than where I am right now, I can answer with a resounding YES! I think that we have had 2 days of fall (sorry) autumn since I've been here, and I have soaked in every second of those days. Mostly we have had misery in the form of wind and rain and skies that make my children ask if it is almost night time. Many people here have already warned, if you think that this is awful wait until winter... I should have made an exchange in Greece or Italy... wouldn't it be nice to live someplace that always had wonderful weather. Oh well, I suppose if it were perfect here, everyone would live here. Despite the ugly weather, I am still enjoying myself. I am getting ready to have Chinese food for my friend Nuela's birthday... I am charging my battery now in the hopes of a few fun pictures to post tomorrow. I suppose we'll see.
I have had a couple of funny moments in the classroom this week that I thought I would share today... The first one came when I was working with a small group of children and we were writing one of the Kipper in our sentence. The little boy beside me was writing right along and after he had finished the 2 ps he looked up to me and said to me... I'm a good pee-er. I had to chuckle... he had no idea what he had said. But good to know!
The second incident happened when I was working on the ing chunk with the kids, and we rhymed ing words... and all of a sudden it came to a boy and he got all excited that he realized minging had the ing chunk in it. He nearly jumped out of his seat shouting Minging... you know like-- his feet were minging! Good thing I knew what that meant!
Hope that you all enjoy your weekend... I will try and post pictures soon.
