So in the midst of a difficult week I've decided to think of the good things that happened that helped me make it through!
- A word wall word this week was "was". I have the students write them in sentences each week. This is Gerardo's sentence: "The Miss from Kinder was very pretty."
- Hearing some of the street boys from Micah project share part of their stories at a Spiritual Emphasis assembly and seeing how our students responded
- Getting my first apple as a gift from my student Orquidea.
- Getting random love notes left on my desk from students
- 3 girls offering to stay in for recess to organize all of our classroom books!
- Italian food for Jen Alderette's birthday and a ride home in a bolsitto for all of us gringos
- A formal American thanksgiving dinner at a beautiful hotel in the city.
- Seeing Mr. Greene freestyle dance for 5 minutes at the same dinner
- Having a fall party at Jen, Julienne, Sarah, and Paula's house with lots of delicious fall treats!
- Relaxing outside in the warm sun and listening to a sermon from my home church
