May I have a page?

Hi everyone!  Another day at work!  We went to the community center again, and I took lots of stuff from CCS with me: construction paper, markers, rulers, a map of the world, jump ropes, pictures of Zoe, Seth, and Payne, and the book Green Eggs and Ham.  The kids love to make pictures and cards - I even received a few from them!  I was surrounded by kids for what seemed like forever asking, "May I have a page?"  They also really enjoyed seeing pictures of my three kiddoes.  We also looked at the map of the world and found South Africa (they had trouble with this) and found the U.S. (Texas in particular) as well.  Then we looked for places that corresponded to their favorite World Cup teams.

I think my favorite part of the day was reading to a small group of kids - seeing their wide eyes fixed on the page was wonderful.

After work and lunch we had a drumming lesson.  Yes, a drumming lesson.  I did pretty well as long as I didn't think too much about it (seriously).  Once I started concentrating too much, I would lose the beat we were supposed to be copying.

We took a field trip to the Aquarium this afternoon.  They had an amazing shark tank that was big enough to scuba dive in.   The shark tank had tons of little fish that all swam in the same direction, but then would change direction simultaneously.  Remember in Finding Nemo when the school of fish gave Marlin and Dory directions?  It was exactly like that.  I also saw some "Dories."  (Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.)
