Wow! Why do I forget the days so quickly? I sit here on Sunday night, catching up on the last few days and I already have trouble recalling what happened on Friday.
We did, um, stuff. Right. It’s coming back to me. We planned to go to the NY Hall of Science all day Saturday, so I decided it would be a fine time to get some necessary errands run, teach for a half day, and make up some work the next day.
We went to Ikea to pick up some new pillows. After yet another night of poor sleep, I decided it was time. Luckily Ikea is right next to Fairway so we did the grocery shopping afterwards. I made it as much of a teaching trip as I could (though not as teach-y as the last time – that would have taken forever).
At home we made lunch then settled down for some workbooks and some reading. Rocket Boy read an entire chapter of Frog & Toad with almost no help. I love those books. I loved them when I was a kid and I love them more now that I’m teaching. So many of the easy readers are so explicitly illustrated, that Rocket Boy can guess most of the words instead of actually reading the words. Not with Frog & Toad. We added some more words to his word box, but couldn’t finish the task as it was time for tennis.
That night I slept deeply and well. Ahhhhh, new pillows!
