First Day of School (3/1)

Lincoln International Academy teachers returned from summer break today. Their were a lot of new faces and names to remember, but I made some definite friends. The elementary grade teachers made me feel at home. I enjoyed conversing in a mixture of English and Spanish while we drank coffee. Maria (just moved from 4th to 1st grade) volunteered to be my mentor and take me under her wing. I spoke with a third grade teacher about some of the students in my class and am looking forward to meeting them. And then, I was paid a surprise visit by young fellow that I found, after some questioning, will be in my class. Simón seemed like a very nice fellow and I look forward to getting to know him better.

Today was a first day for Bob and Sylvia, Deb's parents, who just arrived from the states. They came to visit and for a vacation. It was fun to catch up, eat dinner together, and show them around the block (literally). They will be here for a while, until the 19 I believe. Then they will return to the states on a cruise ship. It will be quite a nice vacation. (Little do they know, they will probably be helping Deb and I move into our apartment this weekend. :o)
