#4

so chapter four was a step back. i mean, compared to chapter three, that showed so much potential and excitement (well, as much as you can get from this book). it was like reading chapter one again. i already knew the information and so i just sort of skimmed or skipped a lot of things (all of it!) it was boring, i'm sorry. the only thing interesting was the end of the chapter where the book provides you with extra info or tools that you can use as assignments or projects for the classroom (p255). I particularly like the Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia, which helps students with their research reports, turning them into multimedia presentations with images, audio, and videos. neat:)

so i'll share something personal since chapter four sucked! Lol. uhm.. sarabi is getting her second shot (well, shots. it's three this time) and i am freaking out. last time, i cried so much. probably more than she did. she got so scared when they put the needle in that she actually lost her voice. she opened her mouth to scream and nothing came out. she got all red and I just thought she was going to faint or something. oh my god, the worst experience by far. and now she has to do it again next week and i swear i'm getting nightmares about it. last time she got a fever for a whole day. i'm telling you, that is one of the hardest things about being a parent. i've been told that some mothers choose to wait outside when their child is getting vaccinated but i cant. i need to be there with her. wish us luck:)
