[ Classtime! ]

The classroom has been very busy for my students and I. It seems like we are working on a billion different fun projects at one time. In writing, we are doing a poetry unit where they are writing a poem about their favourite color. In Social Studies, they are learning about the Native Americans in groups. And of course we are learning about Abraham and his issue with fully trusting God!

I began coaching soccer with one of my co-workers (who happens to be my housemate too!) this week. It is quite hilarious how we choose to coach a support that neither of us has never played nor really watched. It has been quite interesting, but a load of fun to watch our students interact outside of school times!

The power has been going out a lot the past couple of days. Today alone the power has gone out five times in the classroom. In fact, it has gone out twice since I have begun typing this blog to you! It used to suprise us when it happened, but now when the lights go out we just keep on teaching and working! :) We have learned that power is not a necessity unlike how I have lived my life in America. When the power goes out in America, the world is coming to an end! Here, its just the way of life! It has really made me realize my priorities and what is truly important!

Hope all is well where you are living. Be praying about what priorities should be or shouldn't be priorities in your life!

Many blessings! P.S. Pictures coming soon!
