Sites I see...

Some pics of my everyday life...

Doulos!!


At Doulos, Upstairs Cafe Taino... This is like the teacher's lounge... not quite the typical teacher's lounge.


The Garden that was designed and planted by previous students. And yes that's a open water pond... with piranhas :) A highlight for my students has been watch a turtle eat a dead fish. Que Chulo!


Motos everywhere. Soon I will have my own :)



I'm on the back with Frai and Brian... We're driving down the street I walk down everyday to get to school. Love it!


Darian is Frai's 3 year old nephew who comes over almost everyday. We play a lot. I LOVE his laugh and he brings me so much joy. When I'm working on school stuff on my computer at home, he usually crawls into my lap and asks to take pictures and videos of himself. haha


This is my beautiful and wonderful assistant Natali. She is with me in the mornings but we are working on approving her to stay the whole day with me. I love her. (and my kids are hard at work doing math stations in the background!)



And here I am teaching... Gosh I love my job!

There are some sites I see... Hope you enjoyed! :)

My students!

So I thought that you may want to see the faces of the bundles of joy I get to spend my days with. In these pictures they are working in their groups at centers. It's probably their favorite time of the day.



Here the all are... table by table...




Thank you Mary Lurhs for donating the wonderful teaching supplies like number bingo (above) and pattern blocks (below). Your many gifts are a blessing each day as it helps my kids grow and learn!



Aren't they awesome? Wish you could meet their little (and some VERY big) :) personalities. haha.

One cute story.... I was joking with the kids that I lived here at school (you know the thought in every kids mind that the teacher lives at school) well after I said this, Joseph, whose mind is usually in the clouds... looks at me and says in spanish,"Ms. Rachel, I have a place for you to sleep at my house. You don't have to live here!" haha It was so cute! I then assured them that I do have a house that I live in. haha...

First graders seriously keep my life interesting as they are learning and growing.

oh yes... and here I am with my kids!


More to come! :) Hope all is well!
