Friday Aug 28
I think I found my new Friday morning routine. Get up about 7am, go over to a bigger pool that is open at 8am, swim there for 40 min and then go to the Star market to do food shopping and then come back to cook a nice breakfast with my special milk chai tea.

I like to do the cooking listening to NPR and today I enjoyed the show with Nora E. about her movie Julie and Julia. I saw the movie right before leaving for Jeddah and I enjoyed it too. Maybe I should attempt a few of her recipes here and impress people and myself with maybe making a skillet steak.

The plan of attack for today is to plan out the next 4 weeks of school. That will take us to the Sept break starting the 17th. I want to start with the unit on Measurement and Geometry to piggyback with Ron the science teacher when he does measurement with his students. Activities will be making a huge number line in the classroom along the walls half way around the room and the other half will be the metric and customary scales. Need to mix it up this year with some desk work and lots more physical applications.

Then I want to work on my camel and cook. Maybe a walk outside after dark to sit and write a letter some where. Speaking of writing letters, turns out a new teacher is also a fan of the communicating the old fashion way. There are few of us left and we need to stick together.
