Paperwork, Paperwork

Hello again. I have wanted to write something for the last week, but the inevitable curriculum (dun, dun, dun...) has been taking up my time.  I am talking about planning lessons, songs, games, stories (the whole nine yards) for the next month. 

I have always had a love, hate relationship with paperwork in general.  I love the structure of filling in blanks or circling the right answer, but hate how it takes so much time.  [I even like filling out those long apps doctors ask you to fill out before the first visit- weird, I know.] :) Anyways....  This is the first night that I have had a chance to post anything. 

I have to tell you a story about one of the children in my class.  She is learning to read and so far her repertoire consists of Go, Dog, Go and My J Sound Box.  She read My J Sound Box to every child in the class individually throughout the day.  She read it at least seven times, I'm sure.  I told her that I bet she will be a teacher someday when I saw her reading the book to, and simulataneously rubbing the back of, a child who had just woken up.  It was priceless!  

Not much else is new except that I am booking a September flight to Philadelphia tonight because the prices are going up and up.  I saw one one-way flight for 900 dollars.  What?  

Take care, Sara
