Froggy Gets Dressed- A Hit!!

Well, after a day of rest... and sleeping in past my alarm 20 minutes, I got to school in time to meet Monsieur Vincent Jenac, the director of Les Marendiers. He's the teacher who has been out with the replacement all year. I did my Froggy Gets Dressed clothing lesson, which was a huge hit, even though the kids didn't quite get the punch line as quickly English speaking children would (he forgets his underwear in the story... and as they don't know that word yet, it wasn't quite as funny until they knew what it meant). However... the book is like PERFECT for teaching clothing vocabulary. So my lesson, even in the class that is usually nuts, went really well. I have a feeling the class was more well behaved because their teacher was back... but it still felt good to have a successful day right off the bat!

Otherwise- I have been fairly non-productive all day. I wrote a few postcards and wrote an article for my in-service on Thursday. I guess that's not totally unproductive, but I had hoped to go grocery shopping. I have no food, so tomorrow I will not be staying after school for lunch because I have nothing to bring except peanut butter and a brownie mix ;) But those I am saving for American craving emergencies.

A plus! More tomorrow! Reste cool!
