Vacation, School Started, and the Opera

Mrs. White, a fellow First Grade teacher, came from the USA to give my students silly bands and American candy.

Hi everyone,

I hope you are well. I am glad I have internet again, so I can update you. Let's see... I have had birthday party in my class and I went to the opera. It was so beautiful! It was sung in Italian and had Portuguese subtitles. Wow, I actually understood some of the Italian! It was amazing. I had a visitor in my class named Mrs. White. She came from the US and gave my kids special treats--silly bands and American candy. That was a big hit with my students. Also, I have had some minor problems with my stump again (small blisters). So I have had to use my crutches again but I hope to be on my prosthetic leg again soon. My students have enjoyed helping me out! What a blessing! They are learning so much English too. God is so good! I also went to a butterfly sanctuary too. It was so beautiful. I got to see some many regional butterflies. They are so vibrant! I forgot to bring my camera but I hope to go again and I will take pictures next time.

May God bless you!
