oh heck - this school business has made me totally fall off the sewing/knitting/cooking bandwagon!! My days are now full of preparing lesson plans (one of my tasks is to develop a six week (30 lesson) course on Latin America- it's cultures, history, politics, economies and geographical aspects, etc.... which I am pretty excited about truth be told). Have been posted to a international school here (which follows a very broad theme when it comes to Social Studies (am teaching Judaism in another class). So creativity on the home-front has been reduced to nil. Maybe my next post will be a power point presentation on the Mayans... or would that bore you all....?
Other big (round here) news is Stella is 1 and for her quccija (pronounced Uchia, which is a Maltese tradition when a child turns one- consisting of choosing an object that represents his/her future career- life path) she walked straight over to the calculator - then with the other hand grabbed a pen...... ahh hummm the math side of her genes have maybe won.

Hei, Happy Birthday Stella from all of us in Parma, a calculator and a pen good choice a girl can go a long way with those two things. Reminds me of a joke - mathematician talking to a philosopher. Mathematician says all I need to do my job is a pen, some paper and a wastepaper basket. Philosopher says hey, I don't even need the wastepaper basket! Ok, I'm going now... love to all R
