Every year, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, Chuy's presents an awesome parade downtown where you can enjoy a fun parade with family-friendly music & floats, but you can also donate new (unwrapped) toys that will be donated to kids in need this Christmas through Operation Blue Santa.
Check out their web site for more information: http://www.chuysparade.com/. It's often chilly, and there is a lot of walking. Bring a wagon or stroller for the kids, and a blanket for them to sit on (if you manage to get there early enough for a "curbside seat"). Bring snacks and/or hot chocolate, too! Parking is free, but hard to come by close to the parade route. The parade route is different this year, so you may have an easier time finding parking nearer to the end of the parade route. Visit the web site for more details! :o) Kim www.babyblankets.etsy.com |

It was a Sunday morning. I got up early and rushed out for bus at half past six. Obviously, it was not a usual day-actually,it was my first day as a teacher. "It won't be a hard job." I thought after Mr. Lu phoned the week before, informing my being employed as an English teacher of a spare time school in which he was the director. I didn't find any difficulty in my new job:the texts were very simple and the students I was going to teach were only primary school pupils, which expelled my worry about making mistakes before them. However, I was afraid that I did not at all look like a teacher and as a result, the students, wouldn't listen to me.I almost spent an hour and a half on the way to school. As soon as I arrived, I rushed to Mr. Lugs office. There, with some other new comers, I listened to Mr. Lugs explanation of working rules, teachers' duties and the curriculum. Everything was all right as I had wished until I came to the door of my class room. The bell had already rung, but the class was racketing as a rock contest. "How can I manage such a group of naughty children?" I hesitated and then stepped in. in control was a great challenge. The first day of my teaching was not perfect but satisfying enough. Si nce then I had got to know how a teacher should perform and all the situations that a teacher would run into. Though my teaching has been much improved so far, the first day of the job still remains deep in my mind. Books are our friends. They introduce us different kinds of knowledge. They lead us down the road to success.Books are our teachers. They teach us troth, science, literature, and philosophy of life. Besides, they increase our knowledge, enlarge our experience,strengthen our character and do many other things which we can not do without them.Books tell us what is good and what is evil. And only books can tell the good from the bad. Therefore to read more books is the best policy for our young students. Watching TV is a time for the whole family to stop from whatever they are doing to get together. While watch TV, they start to talk about the content of the movie, which is also a kind of communication. Imagining the TV disappears, we would do reading in rooms, while our family would do laundry, do washing dish or going shopping. It simply provides a chance for us to stay together.In addition, the TV supplies us with much information, which we have not known in our daily lives. Some of the constructive movies show on TV, like a family story, a love story, or so on, reinforce the relationship of a family and friends. What's more, we learn from the story that it is important to cherish the broiling of a family and friends. My First Day of Teaching
