Yikes!

I have stories and pictures to post from this weekend.  Right now, however, it's time for me to go back to my apartment, eat some dinner, and crash on the couch.  Linda (the head teacher) is gone until Wednesday, so Dora (my classroom aide for reading and math) is overseeing her class for the next few days.  Dora is usually in the classroom to help me teach reading and sometimes math lessons to individual groups or students, and I am incredibly grateful to have her.  Since she is in Linda's classroom until Wednesday, though, I have to (try to) teach all of the lessons on my own.  It is incredibly difficult to try and teach 7 different students who are on 5 different levels all by yourself.  And it is especially difficult to try and keep all of the other students occupied when I am in the middle of a lesson with a group/student.  Needless to say, it was a VERY long day today without Dora in the classroom at all to help me, and I have to do it all over again tomorrow and the next day.  So I promise that I will fill you in on all my weekend activities soon.  I'll try to start writing things down tonight, but no promises that they will be up by tomorrow.  Just thought I would let you all know :-)  Thanks!
