another week down

i can't believe how fast this week flew by! all in all, it was a good week. during story time one of the days, i had a child fall asleep while i was reading. and i mean a deep sleep.. i lifted her head from the table and she didn't even flinch! i even had her stand up and walk around with me hoping that it would wake her up.. she stood up and was walking around with me but i realized that she was still asleep! she was sleep walking with me! so i took her back to her seat and she stayed asleep for about a half hour haha.. she had extra homework since she slept through writing :) the kids thought it was hilarious.. i just thought it was crazy! i also realized how much my children love sign language which makes my heart happy! a couple fridays ago i read "if you give a pig a pancake" and started teaching them how to sign the story. today i reviewed the signs with them and they remembered a lot of them! i'll definitely have to think of more things to incorporate with sign.. they just love it!

other things this week..
i found out that some parents of the new life students want to learn conversation english and requested for me to be their teacher.. don't really know the details yet but i'm really excited about it! i don't know how many are the parents of my kids.. hopefully a few because the ones i've met so far are really nice and seem to have fun personalities. i'll definitely keep you all updated!
and also.. i found really good shampoo here. i know.. random.. but i love trying new beauty products and i can literally spend an hour looking at all the japanese products! some of the shelves even have little televisions to show the commercials of the shampoo, mascara, etc. when i was looking at the shampoos, i probably heard the commercial about ten or so times. i found the commercial on youtube.. just imagine hearing the music from this commercial for five minutes straight.. the tune can easily get stuck in your head!


i'll close for now. laura and her husband, eric, are taking the girls and me to a great pizza place with a spectacular view and then to the aquarium. i'll most likely have pictures to post tomorrow about it :) love you all and MISS YOU!

That's so cool that your students enjoy sign language. I miss being an ASL tutor so much. I still have dreams about sign language all the time and I go onto ASL pro and do those signing tests. I miss you!
