January Updates


January

We came back from our Christmas trip, rejuvenated  and reenergized. Julie and I prepared for meeting our 40 smiling students, while Sister Esther had another plan for us. She sat us down and said they added another new student, so we have 41, and therefore they decided to split the class. We were mixed feeling about this, because while we wouldn’t be in the same classroom with the same students all the time, we would be able to actually control a class of 20 or so children. We decided to continue to subject teach instead of one of us teaches all of A and one teaches all the subjects in B. I teach math, science, religion, and music to both classes while Julie teaches English, social studies, computer and art to both classes. It is a lot of running back and forth between the adjacent classrooms but we both prefer seeing all of our kids instead of only half of them. Also, we are continually getting new students in both classes. We are up to 45 now, and we are having so much fun. It’s great that all the kids get the individual attention they need in order to excel in the classroom.
