This has been an extremely busy week... starting with the Phoenix Music Academy, continuing with self-defense karate class, ice skating, and piano. We also started/continued a dance class with the Chandler Parks and Rec. When we got done at class, the grump of a teacher said.."Jasmine is too small for this class. You need to go to a different one"... (even though the class is for 4-6 yr olds) The discrimination is just beginning:(. I didn't like the teacher anyway and wouldn't have signed up for the class if I would have known she was teaching it. We will continue next semester at Tempe with the other teacher.
In the self defense/karate class, the kids are continuing to learn about "stranger danger" and are in the process of memorizing their own phone numbers.
Today in "cooking class", they made a blueberry yogurt "parfait"...it didn't look too ..uh.. appetizing. They also made "ants on a log". The last class was "Girly Girlz" where Jazzy and her friends made hats and danced with their "boas". During our classes today, there was a "Multicultural Festival" going on. Hundreds if not thousands of immigrants were carrying around their American flags and taking their oath of citizenship. It was nice to watch people become citizens who had actually done so legally and had probably spent years... if not their entire life, working with our Immigration system to become American citizens- which from just my couple of short years of experience with them is a long, degrading and frustrating process.
