Spoons + sunshine = smiles

I taught my students to play Spoons. They were very aggressive, and we laughed a lot. I like to imagine they'll go home and play with their families. I may have started a craze! In order to make it a learning experience, I taught them crucial vocabulary like: to shuffle, to deal, spades, hearts, three of a kind, etc.

The weather has been positively delightful. Last week, I was reintroduced to my shadow. After gray skies for most of December and January, the sun has emerged. I've heard March will be freezing, but I'm optimistic that spring is nearly here. Two of my students wore sunglasses in class this morning because it was so bright in the classroom. They're silly!
