fireplace Sonoma Mission Inn, Mariyn in the lobby and the front fountain and wisteria
They wore me out. It was compound by the fact I only slept from 12-3.
First graders have the attention span of a gnat. We managed to get everything done but the transition between one thing and another takes forever including starting another subject and opening their books. It is impressive thought that the kids have the formula for writing a 5 paragraph paper down already. They start and end with transition words, First, Next, then and Finally. The art is sad. Like anywhere there are sharp quick students and those who put in the least amount of effort. Next Mon, I sub. 4th grade. I have to use lunch to lay down on the floor. That helped.
Then I went to tutor reading. Natalie, my student at another school perked me up.
She doesn't much like getting down to business, plays and gets off task, but her reading may be improving, I think. She started on the 1.3 level and is now up to 2.7 almost at grade level.
It's nice too have a feeling of belongingness. Next week is then end of the program for the year and there is a Volunteer appreciation luncheon.
Took a nap from 5-10.
I'd rather be back at the Sonoma Mission Inn in a room on 1000 threat count sheets, a peach blanket, the fire place lit reading and napping, then go over to the spa to soak in the hot tubs, hit the meditation room with it's fireplace and comfy chairs, refresh with some orange/grapefruit slices, almonds with some water. Then go back for afternoon wine and dinner by room service next to another fire.
