My life in September becomes very hectic. As the Summer comes to a close, school begins along with my three jobs. My first job is to be a nanny for four adorable children. I am with the children five days a week and feed them a nutritious breakfast, get them dressed for school, get them on the bus, then babysit their youngest brother all day long. After being a nanny, I am a high school cheerleading coach. I instruct my team on how to be cautious during practice and how to be the best they can be! I am also a waitress at a Japanese restaurant in Great Neck, New York. We serve delicious meals to our guests every night. The beautiful month September is busy for me, but it also brings the joyful idea of Autumn approaching. Autumn is one of my favorite months because of the cool weather, the colorful trees, and the flavor of pumpkin!

ReplyDeleteFine entry with all the components!
I enjoyed reading your entry. If this were for actual ELLs, it's great that they would get to know you more on a personal level than just being "their teacher". I like the words you chose for your vocabulary list, not too easy but not too difficult for them to understand and apply in the Vocabulary Exercise you gave them. Can't wait to see your next entry!
ReplyDeleteKim you are one busy lady! Those kids are lucky to have you. You must be an incredible babysitter. Great vocabulary exercise. I find word banks to be a great scaffolding technique for all students, but especially ELL's. On a personal note, you are an inspiration.
