Day 41

Phew today was finally just as I expected it to be and nothing to rant about! This morning it was my English class with the Kindergarden kids, today I was going to try and teach them some "body parts", we started last week by singing "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes". I spent most of the morning searching for cute pictures of body parts to make them another little booklet. I never succeeded with that, but I did find a couple of pictures to colour in and made them into a jigsaw, along with a dice with the parts on it, so we could play a jigsaw game. The idea was that they could only take the part they rolled on the dice if they told me the word in English (head, arm, leg, tummy or bottom) - didn't happen today. If I am lucky I did manage to reach them on some level and they will surprise me next week, we'll see. But I still think they enjoyed it!

When I got home Posty rang, and look what he brought me!!!!It is great! In fact I was so excited about it, and no one at home to show, that I took it with me to Kindergarden to show the Kindergarden teacher!

This afternoon Richard went to a birthday party and Robert and I went to his school to see his teacher - our first parent teacher meeting. I think I got a pretty normal report for a boy, he has to learn to control his temper - apparently he gets into a few scuffs (6 to one half a dozen the other kind of thing though), he doesn't always concentrate and takes too long to do things some days (not all the time), his handwriting could be better, but really nothing awful. ANd on the good side, the teacher is really pleased with his German, and his reading is coming on in leaps and bounds. That put a big smile on my face. The only thing that I didn't really like hearing is that he plays too much Wii, apparently that shows on a Monday in his behaviour - oops!

Reading back over that it sounds more bad than good, but it wasn't, it was a good report for Robert and I am proud of him.

After that we had the afternoon to ourselves, first it was homework and then Robert wanted to make a layout and story like Richard. So far he has made a layout, apparently tomorrow is the day to write the story.

Richard got back from his party at about 7pm and it was straight to bed, he had a good time, but he will tell me more tomorrow. Sometimes he says the cutest things!
CU tomorrow
