this is the classroom! i realized today just how awesome it is to have a room. i feel like i'm student teaching all over again. i think the kids do better too...there's a lot more order and sense to the day.

josue had a much better day today. here he is in class...

i found out the circus is back in town! i went to talk to the boss but he wasn't around...we are so going. it's just a matter of when and how much it will cost. the way they advertise here is by bringing the circus to you...literally. trucks drive around, blaring an ad for the circus while pulling circus animals behind them...zebras, horses, camels, tigers, monkeys, and more. it's crazy but the kids absolutely love it.

jose and i in our matching tshirts...his is from patrick boyd! he was so excited to wear it and when he saw i had mine on too he could hardly contain himself. the simplest things bring such a big smile to his face :)
