Kids are getting better and a big fat thank goodness for that, we had about a nine hour read aloud today, as in I read aloud almost all of the last Harry Potter book today...we have 6 chapters to go tomorrow!
Les meves filles estan millorant i unes moltes gràcies super gordes per això, hem passat nou hores avui, llegint in veu alta. Vol dir que he llegit en veu alta quasi tot del ultim llibre dels de Harry Potter....ja només tenim 6 capítols fins que acabem!
The girls are now eating most anything and mostly willingly, they are showing moments of energy and high-spirits, though they aren't quite ready for school. I took them with me to walk the dog, a 20 min walk in town, and they struggled to say the least.
Les nenes ara estan mangant quasi tot i generalment amb ganes, tenen moments quan mostren energia i entusiasme, malgrat això, encara no estan preparats per anar a cole. Avui anaven amb mi per passejar el gos, un petit passeig de vint minuts, i han lluitat per tornar.
On another note, I am up PAINTING!!!! YEAH!!!!! with drive and energy, but also knowing I have to stop and go to bed at a reasonable time. I still, simply cannot get sick. It's not an option.
Per un altre banda, estic pintant!!!! YEAH!!!! amb ganes i energia però conscient que haig de parar i anar a dormir a un hora raonable. Simplement, encara, no puc ser malalta. No està un opció.

9 hours straight of reading? That's... a lot! Did you check how long the Audiobook version was, to compare with your reading speed?
Ah, Harry. Aloud. A perfect 'get well' fix.
Wow, and my voice gets tired after 20 minutes or so!
Hope the kids get better fast! Poor things.
No, I should. I tend to read pretty fast, till I cry at a sad part, then I sloooow right down, which they find frustrating.
mmichele, we thought so too!
Kate, practice practice practice!!!!
HA! I checked it....the UK version, 24 hours, the US, 21. I figure I did the whole thing in about 12. I must read FAR too fast for a professional, and I cry too......
well, it got done in just two movies. Probably means it can be read aloud in less than 24h :D. Now, next challenge, reread that, but re-act it at the same time with a sock puppet theatre.
You are cruel! Actually, let's see you do it first...maybe not potter though....
actually, picking up a chapter or scene and making your students re-enact it with sock puppets would be a very fun and creative exercise, don't you think? I mean, I'd be pretty motivated if the English Teach told us: "today, it's Harry Potter and Sock Puppets" rather than "Present Perfect, take 27." :D
