Monday

Today I was in the fifth grade classroom again, and all went very well. The majority of my responsibility is helping two of the boys in the class who are working in lower level books than the other students. Ironically enough, I was told to help them with their Spanish grammar, and math. Yes, that's right. Two of my worst subjects. But I have access to the teacher addition of the book, so its all good. Today we also had an assembly and every class got to have their own little part to present. It was very fun, especially watching the row full of boys who were very torn between their desire to inflict pain on each other in any way possible, and their desire to avoid the teachers notice so that they wouldn't get in trouble and have to move away from their friends. Oh, the dilemmas of fifth grade.


In other news, Lula and I just had a lovely dinner of tuna, rice, and avocado. Although my plate looked like a bad Jackson Pollock painting, it was quite a lovely combination all smashed together. I highly recommend it!

Someone paid $140 million for one of these paintings. Little did he know he could have smashed tuna, rice, and avocado together and gotten roughly the same effect.
