We've been working extra-hard this week to make sure we're ready for our students to come tomorrow! Karine has 20 students in her class, and Tom has the whole school in his library! Karine will be responsible for changing 7 bulletin boards per month in and around her classroom, so any creative ideas are welcome!
An exciting 4th grade development for Karine has been the realization that she hasn't practiced the Palmer Method of cursive handwriting since her 4th grade days. Tom has been busy checking out all of the textbooks and materials to the teachers for the past few days. Everything at this school stems from the library. He will be very busy!
A funny phone call came into the school office on Friday. It went a little something like this. (translated into English)
Maid (on phone): Hello, front office?
School secretary (on phone): Yes?
Maid: I noticed that Karine and Tom had some laundry in their basket in the closet. Would you tell Tom that he can tell his wife that there is a washer and dryer right near their house?
School Secretary: Yes! (To Tom) Tom, you can tell Karine that she can do your laundry just 3 houses down from your guesthouse.
Tom: I will be sure to tell her!
Karine: (Later that night) What?! I'm still a feminist from the U.S. You need to separate your whites and colors before I'll do your laundry!
