School Life

Today was eventful.  Some workers installed an A.C. unit is Cynthia's room.  Finally!  The first day we arrived here Laum said they would bring it the next day.  It only took a month.  Another worker took away my broken refrigerator.  I'm not sure what happened to it, but Laum said it's still under warranty, so at least he won't have to spend money on it.

Speaking of money, I got my first paycheck today.  Laum gave me three $100 bills.  Now I have to figure out how to change it into smaller bills.  Many vendors won't even accept a $20 bill, since they don't have very much money. 

I read one of my new books to my 2nd graders.  It had pictures of all characters and actions, so they were able to understand it.  The book is titled Little Yellow Dog Gets a Shock.  The dog wanted to sit in a chair, but he collided with Ginger Cat who was also jumping up at the same time.  They ended up snuggling on the chair together. 

The students start their day by reciting their pledge to the flag as it is being hoisted in the air.  They end the day by lowering the flag, and reciting something.  Then, all hell breaks loose and the children run up to the bus and climb in the windows (because it's faster).  Other students walk or ride bikes home.  The place is totally deserted after about 10 minutes.  I am so used to hearing them play in the yard that it seems even more quiet at night.

  1. Hi Carrie... I will give you smaller bills for your 100's. I will send you 3 five dollar bills and you send me yours. That should work!

    Does your AC work? It must be hot and humid their.

    1. What an interesting offer, but I'll pass. I've had working AC since I arrived. Thank goodness! It's sweltering.
