School today was great. I was surprised they don't go all out like we do for Valentines day. The kids don't bring cards and candy for all their friends. They do make cards for their parents and the school had mini roses for sell. So far this week I've gotten to teach two math lessons, a writing lesson and read to first graders. Today I read Brer Rabbit to the first graders. The kids talked about my accent again. I guess it really showed when reading that book.
