Later in the week at school we had a Market day or Dia de mercado for French and Spanish students! It was really hectic, but fun and a lot of the students were speaking the language, mostly when teachers walked by but still! We had called the news and I got to be on one of them so here is the clip of most of my students and me! I'm so proud of them!

I feel so famous :)
Below are some pictures of my kids too.
This week has been Spring Break, so I've enjoyed sleeping in and also our little trip to West Virginia! We went and visited Chad's Great Uncle Frank and Aunt Ann. We also got to visit the house where his Granny grew up! People are still living there! We also got to pick up coal off the train tracks, just like his Granny used to for their fires! I was soooo excited. Uncle Frank told us ghost stories how people used to get killed a lot by the coal trains and you can still hear their bodies hitting the river nearby at night. Scary, but fascinating! Chad, Jacob (chad's lil bro), and I also took part in the playground fun! There was a caboose you could climb in and teeter totters! We also got yelled at to get off someone's property cause we were exploring, and the guy said his dog would eat us. I figured it adds to the experience. Reminded me of when I was little and following my brothers where we weren't supposed to go, then getting in trouble by the neighbors, cause the boys would take off and I couldn't keep up! Agh flashbacks!
Overall it's been fun here in Virginia, and are excited for the end of the school year, when we can head out west for some more fun and visiting family and friends!
