Lesson 943: Funny Things

 Hello, Readers.

It's Eloise here, in the Great Lakes Region

experiencing the typical crackpot weather in March.

One day like this,

and the next like this.

Ice and snow

wiped away the memory of 70 degrees

the week prior.

Funny how that works.

Even the wildlife was saying,

this is for the birds.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel--

spring arrived today!

Mr. Lamp Post practices reading with Natalie

every single day.

She's doing so well!

Funny thing what fifteen minutes of focus each day can do.

Weekend homework:  try it!

Pick something you want to improve 

and practice for 15 minutes every single day.

Eloise has been suffering with a case of diagnosed laryngitis.

I'm on my 12th day.

12 days of sucking on lozenges,

leaving me with a sour stomach

and some very bad breath.

Time,

fluids,

and vocal rest 

were the doctor's orders.

However,

there is not much of a chance for vocal rest in school.

One of the first graders tapped me on the shoulder

while we were working on a floor game this week.

The students noticed that my voice was returning

and slowly improving.

"Mrs. Eloise,

you don't sound like a scary person anymore..

you just sound like a frog."

One of the funniest things I followed this week

was the airport drama of a friend,

and her newfound friendship

with a foreign stranded passenger named Lucy.  

Here are a few funny things to end this blog tonight.

I'm going to get a copy of this

to hang in our cabin.
