School visit today - lots of question / answer time with children of different grade levels :)
Their students, who are required to wear uniforms, are very jealous of our kids being able to wear their own clothes - within school guidelines, of course. They have various questions, but the main topic of conversation for the kids with these two Oklahoma teachers is TORNADOS. They are fascinated with the idea of tornados, what causes them, what damage do they leave behind, and most of all... why do we live in an area where this natural disaster is such a possibility.
As teachers, we enjoy watching their inquisitive minds at work. But we also value the time we get to spend visiting with the other teachers. We are able to ask our own questions of them and their curriculum, as well as hear their questions for us. We both agree that sharing ideas and learning from each other is a valuable tool for any educator.
Lucy is preparing another traditional English meal tonight, roast chicken with parsnips, potatoes, and carrots. Smells yummy. Last night she fixed bangers and mash (sausages and mashed potatoes w/onion gravy). It is wonderful spending time with her in her home.
