The weather was horrible, again. It was rainy, windy and cold even though it’s the middle of March. Although we couldn’t go outside with the girls we at least came prepared with The Little Mermaid and UNO to pass the time. Every week when we go it seems there’s a new piece of furniture that they’ve picked up from somewhere, luckily no new couches since I would probably have a panic attack thinking about the immense bedbug infestation theoretically (in my paranoid mind) hiding under the cushions. I’m so glad for having had the wonderful lecture on bedbugs, which makes me feel itchy whenever I so much as glance at a mattress.
We help them with their homework, but at times some of their homework requires them to read stories in English and I don’t know how well they really grasp it, since they are still learning English. One girl seems reluctant to ask for much help but I feel she needs it, for when we look at her work some of it is done wrong or she doesn’t really understand the directions. Yet when we ask her if she needs help she says she doesn’t. I don’t really know what to do without imposing myself when she says she doesn’t need help. I guess we still have a ways to go building trust between us. But then again, maybe shell learn better by doing it herself and making mistakes.
