"Teacher, when are you coming back? Teacher Caleb makes funny letters. . ."

I don't have too much to say or too much to tell you about this week. . .
   I'm looking into getting my intestines removed. . .not really but it was just the dramatic comment I needed to make me giggle a little. Friday night we were supposed to go out for pizza and I was excited but then I got really super sick and I couldn't go. I was sick in bed until Tuesday morning and even then it was sheer will that got me to school because I couldn't be in my room one more day (the title is what my 3rd-4th grade class asked while I was gone)  I'm getting sick of this so I decided to do some research. It seems that I have a more chronic case of giardia. I then decided to self -prescribe the recommended anti-biotic. Only after I bought the anti-biotic did I read more on it and found out that the side effects were so bad that the FDA wouldn't approve it in the USA. So, I was  a little concerned but I figured it was a 5 day deal and I could just handle it. Well, no side-effects yet and I'm functioning again so we will see. I could definitely use some prayer.
   Speaking of buying pills. Free health care is not all it's cracked up to be. My mom couldn't send me my pills like I mentioned earlier so when I got the anti-biotic I figured I would pick up my other ones too and then found out it is 90 reals for a 28 day supply. That was a punch in the gut.
   Anyway, enough about that.
   Friday was parent-teacher conferences and I think they went pretty well. Some kids look freakishly like their parents, though.
   Classes have been great this week! Today for 5th-6th grade we made a pizza and it was pretty yummy if I do say so myself! Then, in my 7th-9th class we were discussing the current flooding of nearby cities and they are really passionate about helping out. They want to have a work day and many other things! I am so excited! 

Deborah
If I were ever to describe an ideal student I'm pretty sure she would be who I based my description upon. She is so incredibly smart, sweet, and wonderful! She's still young enough that she loves Hannah Montana but old enough to grasp some of the complexities that we discuss in class. She gets perfect grades on everything, is always willing to read and answer questions, and is super respectful and just great! She's wonderful!



Eduardo (Dooda)
Dooda is great ! She is not afraid to put the two boys we have in their place. She is very  intelligent and very animated. She is very passionate and opinionated. I would say she is incredibly stimulating to the classroom! She's great at her work and is always up for sharing and reading. She is so much fun to have in class!





I can't believe how fast this trip is flying by!

I love you! 

Love your sick, awesome teacher, passionate girl,

  1. I'm sorry to hear that you're still not feeling well. Hopefully the antibiotics will address the chronic infection if that's what it is. Perhaps the change of diet and food sources is still wreaking havoc with you?
