Finally I get to post again! :) sorry about the lateness of this everyone! The internet here is not exactly reliable. I am going to try to start journaling so that I am remembering the things I am learning here otherwise I will forget and they won't really be learned ;)
Well last week felt really long, I know from here on out it will go really fast though so I am going to try to treasure it! I have already learned a lot in my classroom here. It has been a tough adjustment but God is ALWAYS good. I am really enjoying getting to know these kids, and seeing the diversity in the school.
One of the thoughts that is lingering in my mind as I attend these classes is the balance of what the students learn in the classroom academically as well as what they learn socially, emotionally, and practically for life and learn about themselves. I've just been thinking about all the things that students learn on top of what I will be explicitly teaching them, and that those things are important too. I don't really have any profound thoughts on this yet but maybe they will occur to me as I go through this experience, and any comments are welcome! :) post on my fb!
I also want to learn about classroom management while I am here. I know that that is something I haven't had much practice with and so I would love to be able to observe and see strategies that work for various teachers.
We did a lot of shopping this weekend, I enjoyed seeing the city and walking! :) God shows His beauty in so many different ways! I am still trying to figure out my way around this city! I am praying that I will continue to seek the Lord and develop relationships with these kids, I want to show them the love that God has shown me through His Son!
