Escargot is delicious
Now that the test that shall no longer be named is over, my kids love me again. They were all really into drawing me pictures this week. And now I’m running out of room in my class to post their masterpieces. It’s adorable. And the project I have them working on, in which they’re planning their own international vacation, is going so well! They have no idea how much they’re working (comparing prices, creating pie charts, calculating percents and using proportions), because they’re having so much fun. The kids have really taken ownership of the cities they’re visiting, and they walk into class yelling “my plane ticket to Beijing is WAY MORE EXPENSIVE than your plane ticket to Paris!” And one will yell back “YEAH? Well my hotel is more expensive and I get to eat escargot!” It’s refreshing to hear them getting so excited about class, as opposed to who looks sexiest that morning (me, obviously, with my purple pants).
A happier girl you could not find right now, really.
