Housekeeping chores

Ok -- I'm learning how it is done! I removed the four single pictures and got the slide show back.

This has been a very busy week -- My friend has almost finished the hooded cape she is making, and has been brave enough to fix her own problem when the thread wound itself around the bobbin case. She is still sewing on the decorative ribbon else it would have been a great day for Hannah to have worn it. It was cold this morning!

I bought some black posterboard for the picture exhibit I'm doing for the Anniversary/Reunion. OD -- where are you when I need your scrapbooking talents!

V and I have been working on her spelling and reading skills (she was restricted from TV for two days due to a sassy mouth.) She normally makes high grades on spelling but last week she failed the test. Have no idea why. She gets in too big a hurry, I think.

Class went well -- had just the Chinese students this week and we worked hard on opposits. hot/cold hard/soft. etc., and they learned quite a few new words. They did excellent work on the lesson on reading comprehension. I used a new book and think perhaps it is too easy. Both of them wrote in their journals and only required a few corrections. They have these marvelous devices that allow them to type in an English word and get the Chinese translation. There are some English words that are difficult to translate without using other, equally difficult, English words. Sometimes I just have them look them up on their little machines.

Well, I need to say Good-night and get the dinner put away -- Catfish Veracruz! Yum! Tomorrow night we dine with friends.
