I apologize for the lack of blogging. Everything here is always so busy, and when I do have down time it is hard for me to think and write creatively. I will give it a go today though.
Last week the kids were on holiday so I didn't have school. I still spent time working at the church and also spent a lot of time being lazy with Claire. Since coming back to school this week, my kids have been kind of wild and hard to teach. Today they were a bit calmer; maybe they will be back to normal by tomorrow.
Today while the kids were writing and drawing, we called them up one at a time to take school pictures. Some of them were terrified, some of them loved the attention, and some of them were just really confused. We're hoping to print and laminate the pictures, make frames for them in class, and then send everyone home with a nice photo for their family. I'm trying to put pictures up on F-book (and here too) but by now I've learned to not really count on it working until I've tried on a few different machines.

YAY!!! Great success...
Those are some of the better ones I got. Will post more later but they took a really long time to upload, so thats it for today!
I've been reviewing with the kids this week, and need to think of something to plan out for next week. I never realized until now how important a fairly detailed lesson plan is...its SO hard to come up with stuff off the top of your head, especially things that are simple enough to be explained to 3-6 year olds who hardly speak any english.This weekend four of my good friend here are leaving :( We're going out to dinner tonight, and then out to the club tomorrow. I'm going to miss them a lot.
We're still playing a few games of poker a week which is awesome. I love poker. Last night I won my dala-dala fare for today and a few days ago I won lunch. Maybe next week I'll win a safari or something, that would be sweet.
