3 am with coffee and dogs
Zenji seems to be doing a bit better. She hasn't thrown up in over a week so the canned pumpkin must have been the culprit. She is also having less pain in her hips but I'm still trying to keep her calm for another week or so. It is so hard to do sometimes, especially if she sees a rabbit in the yard or a coyote passing by. CeeCee is still being patient but I can tell that she really wants to run and play with Zenji. Hopefully I'll be able to let them run wild and run free in the backyard soon.
Reading classes are coming along and the kids are settling in. The first couple weeks of school always seems to be a getting to know you / what can I get away with period but we all are learning how to work together to get through our lessons. They're a good bunch kids.
ESL classes are in full swing as well. Most of my ESL students do speak English to some level but sometimes I'll get a student who can only speak a few words of English and it can be challenging. When that happens I have to run to different lesson sets to accommodate all the students. I think the kids that are more advanced in English get impatient but overall they try to help the less advanced kids. It is heartwarming to see the students helping one another.
Take care,
Teresa, Zenji and CeeCee
