Is chicken soup with lime juice and avocado in it. If you've never had it, I suggest you try it. You'll never go back. At least if you like lime and avocado as much as I do :)
Zuma seems to be doing well, my cold is getting better, and the students prepping for the speech contest are doing pretty well. The second graders I am especially impressed with. Two of them I believe have the best pronunciation (one) and intonation (the other) in the entire school. But the girl with great intonation has some pronunciation difficulty, and the boy with great pronunciation is pretty monotone (maybe from the three years he spent in Russia).
Halloween is coming up! I think that means I'm supposed to do something, like emphasize it as a fun cultural aspect of American life. But it's hard to tell where/when/how exactly I should do this. Candy isn't allowed in any of the schools, so that takes away from the true experience. I'll see the 1st-4th graders once this month, so they'll get a Halloween lesson at random times. Does this mean I should dress up 4 times? The 5th and 6th graders have to learn important grammar points that they will forget one month from now.
And what about the middle school? They got Halloween lessons in elementary school, I'm told. Should I go campy or creepy? Vampire or witch? Or Martha Stewart Jellyfish? Or just a mask of a sumo wrestler or something? I don't know. So far I'm just telling the students my birthday is within a week of Halloween so I expect them to bring me presents.
