A day of delight

Hello, Yesterday I spent the day ( 9a.m.-2:30 p.m.)
Teaching four children to read more effectively.
I had a wonderful lunch with Dove and just really loved it.

The children had a recess and potty break while I delighted in the momentary silence.
This is Doves class room.

I worked one on one with each child . They had a 5 page story of letters written in 1930's by a little girl who had to go stay in the city with her Uncle. She had the gift of gardening. She lived in her beauty and made a dark city street bright with flowers and gave a man who never smiled a roof top garden.
The kids had on average a low 25% score on the comprehension tests. The first child got 90% and the other two got a 100% on the test (the other child did not finish the story for time ran out on the day).

We all had a nice lunch together as all the little girls were little fluttering butterfly's around me.
Dove was so proud to be my daughter that it warmed my heart.
Dash saw me in the cafeteria and ran to hug me and greet me. Many of the other children who knew me from last year also said hello.

At lunch break all the fourth graders played soccer and Dove's class won the game.
It was nice under the shade of the huge trees.

They all proved to be good sports.

I went on a gathering run last night. I saw on Creigs list a person who had a garage full of stuff from a fabric store that had closed down. I called on the things and made a late night scavengers hunt coming home with a great stash of tremendous bargans.
