So I realized today that I hadn’t posted my thoughts from
last week so here they are!
Well, school is off to a fast & furious start! It has been challenging & wonderful! Even in the first few days we’ve seen
students with attitudes & a wall up with us new teachers warm up and start
sharing their lives with us. I am really
excited to be back in the classroom! I
feel like God is already using me to connect with the students. Yesterday, at the end of class I thanked the
students for working hard and then I said “Kamsahamnida” (thank you in Korean)
one of my students who is struggling to speak English. He turned and gave me the biggest smile! It made my whole day!
There have been challenging moments as well. I have the 12th grade students for
devotions first thing in the morning!
They are ALL asleep I think! J Kind of like my high school Sunday school students!!!
My classes range in size, the 8th grade is the
largest classes with 18 and 10th only has 7
students. I am really excited about the
8th grade curriculum studying prehistory thru the 1800s. It is really fascinating and I’m already
thinking up all sorts of fun learning activities to do with them. The 8th graders have such a
positive attitude and are so excited about learning! I love it!
On another note, my belly is growing by the day and I can
never eat enough! Sheesh! It is so fun to feel our little boy swimming
all over.
The other day Ernie came into
my class to make an announcement about soccer and as soon as he started talking
the baby started moving. He knows his
daddy’s voice! Made me teary! WOW!
So all is good with the baby.
Here are a few random pictures from the past week:
