Today was a Monday back at Rainbow Forge.  I have been feeling really tired lately.  It's like I just can't catch up on sleep no matter how early I go to bed. 

At school today, I learned that Rainbow Forge does not teaching the letters of the alphabet.  None of the students know the names of the letters, they only know the 48 different phonics sounds.  Literally, if you ask a child to spell their name, they will recite phonics sounds back to you.  So, I told Mr. Tingle he would have to teach me how that works...cause I never learned phonics in Connecticut.  They taught us to read by sight words.  Anyways, it was hard you work on writing with the children today.

I am teaching the students The Cha Cha Slide tomorrow for a physical education lesson.  I think the student will have a lot of fun with that.  Then on Wednesday I'm teaching a science lesson on force, motion, and friction.  The students are going to have a car ramp race and figure out which surface causes the most friction.

We came home on the TRAM, there was an accident so they made us get off at the Cathedral and walk.  We went to Boots to get some essentials and then to Co-operative, the grocery store.  I came home, took the trash out which is an adventure with all the recycling you are forced to do.  Then I took a nap, and Amanda is cooking us dinner again :)  Hopefully I can catch up on some sleep tonight!
