It has been a week now since I have been back. It feels like so much longer. This week was so busy for me. I felt so behind and I still do, but things are slowly getting better. Even though I felt very unprepared for this week, I think things went okay and the kids surprised me at how well they behaved. This week in science I taught them about the layers of the earth. We made models out of play doe.





The layers didn't turn out so good on this one.




























On Friday my kids finally earned a tally party. They get tally points when they are good and once they get 25, they get a party. I was excited for it because I missed out on their Christmas party.


































On Friday we had a surprise birthday party for Kristen. She's one of my favorite people here. She is such a sweetheart and the only other redhead.


















I spent all day yesterday working on lesson plans. I wanted them to be way better than this week. I was going to keep working on them, but we realized that this week was the last week to see the Agulas play again. So, we decided to go to the game. I am so glad we did because it was so much fun and I really needed the break.




It was a playoff game and everyone was smacking these together and there was a marching band going through all the rows. Very exciting!









































Today I went to an English speaking church. I really liked it and the people there seem great. So hopefully I will keep liking it and feel at home there. Before I got back to working on school stuff, my roommates and I went up on the roof to sunbathing. I am so blessed to have these girls here with me.






Look at that sky, it's always so beautiful here.










Okay, well I am going to go relax a little and get a good night sleep. I hope all is going well at home. I could use your prayers this week. There are lots of things going on at school that are really stressing me out. I will be praying for you all to. Goodnight!
