School's back in session!

Sorry it's been so long since i've updated anything. I had a great time in Texas for Christmas. I was able to see a few friends, lots of family, and really enjoyed being with all of them for Christmas. It was a quick trip, but it was very encouraging, refreshing, and relaxing!

We started back to school this past Monday, January 12th. The 12th also happens to be one of my student's (Julio) birthday, so we had a little party for him that afternoon. This is my schedule for the semester...it's easiest to just lay it out w/ times and instead of trying to explain stuff:

8:10-8:20- Teacher meeting and prayer time
8:20-9:00- 10th grade Biology
9:05-9:45- 4th and 6th grade math
9:50-10:30- 5th grade math
10:30-11ish- Recess
11:00-11:30- 5th grade science
11:35-12:10- Planning Period
12:10-12:45- Lunch
12:50-1:30- 8th grade science
1:35-2:15- 5th grade home-ec
2:20-3:00- 4th and 5th grade grammar
3:05-3:45- 4th grade spelling and reading


So put together, that's 11 different subjects for 1 school day :). That sounds like a lot, but it's not bad. I love all the variety, plus, my biggest class only has 4 kids in it.

My first week of school went well. It was fun to see all the kids again, and get back in the groove of things. It'll be a challenging semester, but I'm excited about it!

Prayer Requests:
-for my students this semester: Julio, Kevin, Elli, Jennifer, Franklin, Banya, Fany, Emily, Caleb, and Audrey...5 are Honduran students and 5 missionary kids
-that we would have a great semester!

Thanks!
