| . Third graders made and wrote postcards to the person of their choice, addressed them, and we took a walking field trip to the post office where they each bought and applied a stamp. Many postcards went to family and friends in Thailand and abroad (The UK, Australia, the US, Germany) and some went to football (soccer) star Christiano Renaldo from Portugal who plays for Spain. I wonder if he'll write back? (Not yet....) |

| A team chant on the topic of healthy food. The creating and performing of these chants or songs has become a big competition for the 4th graders. |

| And tutoring at my student's (extremely large) home. On that day it is by a camp-light because the electric went out. He is making a "cave painting" , going along with our reading about Stone Age people's art and the prehistoric cave paintings in LaCaux, France. |
