Read for the Record ... again~




Last year, my students participated in this Read for the Record
reading the book Curdoroy by Don Freeman.
This year ... we did it again and we read
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.
It's a very popular children's book, and I have to confess
that it's waaaaaaaay too easy for my 3rd graders, but ...
it was fun. ^^





Separate Lives


You called me from the room in your hotel
All full of romance for someone that you met
And telling me how sorry you were, leaving so soon
And that you miss me sometimes when you're alone in your room
Do I feel lonely too?

You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
We can't go on just holding on to time
Now that we're living separate lives

Well I held on to let you go
And if you lost your love for me, well you never let it show
There was no way to compromise
So now we're living
Separate lives

Ooh, it's so typical, love leads to isolation
So you build that wall
Yes, you build that wall
And you make it stronger

Well you have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
Some day I might find myself looking in your eyes
But for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Yes for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Separate lives

Lou Bega ~

I woke up this morning with the tune to Mambo Number 5
... hahaha ... even though most of Lou Bega's songs got awful lyrics ...
but I just love the rhythm and all~ and come on ... he's HOT! Hahah...
Well, ... it's Youtube moment ...



Feira das Flores


Então, a primavera chegou ... mas com esse tempo ... sei nãããão, hein!
Ultimamente, o sol anda muito tímido aqui em São Paulo.
Bom, EU precisava de algo
que me fizesse sentir essa nova estação.
Fiquei sabendo da Feira de Flores que acontece na CEAGESP
todas as terças e sextas ... das 5hs às 10hs
Daí eu fui!!
Foi um passeio muito gostoso ...
acordei cedinho (4.30AM), saí mais cedo e
passei lá na Feira antes de ir trabalhar.
Vi cada flor mais linda que a outra. Claro que tirei algumas fotos,
mas NUNCA elas poderam mostrar a verdadeira cara da beleza
da criação Divina! ... simplismente ... MARAVILHOSAS!












Essas foram as flores que eu comprei pra mim. ^^
Um maço de 30 rosas só me custou R$8!!
E a linda orquídea só custou R$10
... que levei pra decorar a minha sala de aula ...



Milk & Mellow


So, after work ...
some teachers were supposed to get together
to talk about the Writing criteria and just share our experience
working with the 6+1 Traits ...
and we decided to do it at Milk&Mellow!!
Well, not many teachers went
... just Karina, Helena, Gabriela and I ...
and we were delighted with the sweetest presence of Isa.

Uuuuhhh... I had this Ovomaltine Crocante Shake
... soooooo delicious ... just what the doctor ordered! ^^
