Vienna’s Valentine

 Vienna wrote this poem for a friend for Valentine’s Day today:

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

I am white. 

She told us this at dinner and I busted up laughing. So weird and yet it makes some sort of sense.

An Email from Felicity's Teacher

 

August 25, 2021

 

Hello! 

 

I just wanted to say thank you for filling out the parent survey. I enjoyed reading about Felicity and also have enjoyed having her in our class. She has been getting along well with her classmates, loves to show me the artwork she has created, and participates in classroom discussions. I have enjoyed getting to know her personality as well.  

 

Thank you for being willing to support us by being our Art Docent. Once I know more, I will make sure to contact you!

 

 I look forward to this school year with Felicity and working on her goals, especially as you mentioned in reading. It's going to be a good year!

First international food and book club

Michelle Jenson and  I started a new book club tonight: an international food and book club! We recruited a total of 12 women to join our cause and the first meeting was great. With Michelle’s time in South Korea, we chose the book Please Look After Mom. Michelle showcased her Korea serving ware, handbook dresses, and her phenomenal cooking skills. We had beef and spicy pork bulgogi, several types of kimchi, sweet potato noodles, and a delicious dessert that was like a flat Korean churro.

I thought the book was well written if very sad and haunting. Doing a ton of background research on South Korea was actually my favorite parts as I learned so much I never knew. 

The ladies gave provided plenty of thoughtful discussion and I look forward to learning about many more countries, cultures, and their food.

Vienna Town

 On a long drive through Florida, Vienna entertained us with tales and songs of a were-whale-peanut and eyeballs with a hole in it. She shared some of the voices from Vienna Town (inside her brain.) She said, “we worked harder than monkeys in

a ha-cha-cha shop.” Oh our silly Vienna!
