I arrived in sweaty, sticky San Pedro on August 20th. And the last few weeks have been nothing short of amazing.
We kicked off with two weeks of prep time. It is weird. The prep weeks start slow... not knowing what to do and then the last few days are so hectic. This year was extremely humbling though when we took two days to visit the homes of the children. It always gives a teacher a new perspective when he or she sees the home that the child comes from. So, as hard as it was to see some of the homes it makes me cherish the kids even more. And it gives me more reasons to give thanks that these kids get to go to Destino.
First day of school!
So the two weeks went by and then on Monday we started school! My day started with Prepa and I was pleasantly surprised at their behavior and attention. They were extremely sweet and some of their little faces... well just look for yourself THEY ARE ADORABLE!
Besides Prepa I also have 6th and 7th grades. I have never taught kids older than 3rd grade... so I was nervous. But, once again I am overwhelmed with LOVE for these kids. It is really nice to have a class that I can teach in English (Prepa... is Spanglish/Songlish/kinda crazy language haha). Here is a picture of some of the girls in 7th grade. I'll have to get some photos of them, but they aren't as eager to have pictures taken as the little ones!
I'm excited for tomorrow. No Sunday night blues here!
