Animals Animals Animals

Random Cow
There are many animals I am not used to seeing here. For example, there are a few cows who walk by the house just as free as you please while they graze.
Sherwin
There are dogs everywhere but even if they are not strays I have only seen two on a leash. A frog who has been named Sherwin sits at our gate begging to be let out every time it really rains. Finally, we have little geckos in our house. One has a gimpy leg... thus I have named it Nemo.


The first week of class is done and I am glad for it. Trying to impart new information and yet hold a class's attention without actually giving them something to do is a challenge. I have taken to having even my 3rd graders copy a bunch of notes from the board so I don't lose them when I'm talking. I have purchased a whistle and I have started assigning worksheets. This week drastically improved from Monday. I hope this week improves on last week.
There is a gecko on the corner
