On Tuesday, for the first time ever, I gave out a punishment to one of my CM2 classes cause it was just one of those days in which it was like physically impossible for them to shut the hell up. So I made them copy each word they had learned in that lesson (about 13words) 20 times, and have their punishment stamped by their teacher. You should have ( Read more... )

I'm slowly updating my pictures, starting with my last pictures from Japan and from Vietnam before putting up the ones from France and the countries I've visited here. It takes such a long time to upload them though, so when they are all up, I'll let you know!

But I'm kind of looking forward to ( Read more... )

Claudia leaves this afternoon to go back to the US definitively. It's so weird to spend so much time getting to know someone and then poof! They're out of your life. Well, it's not like I won't see her again, though. I am planning to go out and visit, now that I have the double motivation to go out to California to see Claudia and Iris. And I know ( Read more... )
