Nursery Class Student Teacher Ratio 60:1

I saw many classes today and it felt nice to interact with the students. I went into a nursery class where the kids were 2-4 years old. There were a little over 60 little ones with one determined teacher. She was good. But there were 60 little ones. It was a little hectic.

This morning i had a nice walk to work. It was about an hour and the morning weather made it a cool and pleasant hour. The best part were the chickens. It was a cute family with the newborns happily following their mama. The fun part was that while the mom was a mottled black and white, the little chicks were magenta! (Whoa Genetics! Some crazy recessive genes!) I think i've heard that they're dyed so they are recognizable by their owners. I'll check my sources on that one.

  3. Celeste! Wrote to let you know that we were visiting Dallas this upcoming weekend but realized it was summer and school was out - so you may have been out of school. Then thought, Hey.. probably not too many Celeste Arista's out there, so Googled you, and found this blog of yours - realized again you're not even in Texas!? It looks like you're having an adventure of a lifetime over there! Another good friend of mine here in Austin, TX will be departing to the Peace Corp in South Africa in a few weeks and she can't wait - she'll be starting up IT work over there.
