busy, busy, busy

I am getting into the swing of things now being here a week. I am woken up at 6 by the buses that go and pick up the kids in the village and then school starts at 8. I am on a mission to kill all of the ants that have tried to take over my kitchen. I help led Assembly ( we sing songs and share about Jesus) with the younger class and Kalana and I are going to be planning out the Assembly for the rest of the school. In the morning I work with 4 students in Kindergarden that are having trouble in class. They are sooo cute! Joy, one of the little guys, is a little cross-eyed and wears these little glasses. You would think that he got dressed in the dark. He always messes up his buttons on his shirt and looks a little out of it. Instead of saying; "okay" they say"tk". I am trying to switch, but I realized that I say"okay, okay, okay" all the time, after I heard Joy telling the others "okay, okay, okay". In the after noon I work with 2-3 students from first grade. They do not know haw to read, add, or the what the letters sound like. I have my work cut of for me with those two. The rest of the school day is spent in classes reading stories and doing fun work sheets.

After school we are with the boys, which is my favorite. I am now doing homework with just two of the boys because there are more volunteers. It will work out better that way because we can really pour into them. I am going to start reading with Shubaum. Poor kid will have to read all the classics with me, since I never read them in high school ( I rather of just payed Diane to do them).

At night we review homework and read stories. They love al my American goodies- the white board and fun tooth paste are a hit.

I love being able to be a part of their lives. I do not think they realize how important they are too me.

Kalana, one of the volunteers the other day said, "I love it so much here!" I agree.
