Days 6-7

Hola! Yesterday, I met the teacher I will be working with at school.  Her name is Mrs. Ruby.  She is young (28 years old) and very nice!  She has a 2 year old daughter so the school's schedule works well with her schedule.  The school is named AMILAT Christian School. It is for grades kindergarten through 9th grade.  School starts at 7am and ends at 12:15pm.  Mrs. Ruby teaches 1st through 9th grades and meets with each grade two or three times a week.  I was able to shadow her to 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 1st grade classrooms.  Today, she had me teach to both 2nd and 4th grades.  I was very nervous because I did not have much time to prepare, however I was teaching from her lesson plans.  In 2nd grade, I taught the students about the weather.  In 4th grade, I taught them about illnesses and injuries, specifically colds, coughs, and headaches.  I am teaching both grades again tomorrow!  My little knowledge of Spanish is really being put to the test even though I am teaching English.  I will work on getting more pictures of the school and my classes soon!  

View from the third floor of the school - beautiful!

Drawings and a lollipop from the kindergarten girls today!

After school today, I helped out in the nursery.  Two more baby girls arrived in the nursery yesterday afternoon.  Therefore, Ana Ruth (I posted a picture of her in my last blog.) had to move downstairs to the toddler room.  The nursery is very busy with the two new additions and there is a need for extra hands.  Starting tomorrow, I will spend my afternoons in the nursery rather than doing homework help with the students.  Pray for the health of the two new baby girls as well as all of the other babies and toddlers.
