Hello world!So far, so good! All us SMs have fallen into a semi-routine, although things will be much more structured once school starts. The first day of school is on Friday (only a half day, though).
I'm teaching 5th Grade Math, Science, and Bible, and 4th grade Bible! I'm super excited. The principal says the 5th graders are one of the best behaved classes, and very fluent in English, too!
I'm still getting used to living in a city! We have a 7-10 minute walk to school every morning, down the main boulevard in town. Cat calls, kissing noises, cars honking, random English phrases thrown in our direction. I suppose a pack of seven American girls walking down the street is an odd sight. We'll get used to it.
Kaylah smashed a massive spider in our house yesterday with the broom. It was the size of a salad plate! I hid behind Bethani.
I felt very Laura Ingalls Wilder yesterday. I finished my lesson plans and helped Bethani knead our homemade bread. Then I washed my clothes by hand (our washing machine doesn't work) and hung them on the line. As Bethani says, all we need is the long braid of hair. Haha.
Today we're hoping to explore the town and do some tourist-y type stuff, while we're still tourists. :D
