La escuela

No, I don't just go to the beach every day... ha, so here are some pictures of my school...
It's great. Every morning all the students meet out on the front court for anouncements... it's outside and I always wonder what they would do if it were raining. But anyway, it's an easy way to take attendance and check to see who's absent. Presently, (until teacher Michelle has her baby) I am working with students who are behind in an intensive PAP program (whatever PAP stands for... I still haven't figured it out). Anyway, apparently it's a big deal... the parents paid to have their child in the program and the school keeps talking about it. Basically, all I do is take students through out the day from each subject to work on their English and other subjects they are behind in. I have also started teaching 5th Bible. They are the worst behaved class in the school, so I am very strict with them. HA. I keep assigning them essays and memory verses every week and make them re-do their work if I think it is incomplete. Anyway, it is a lot of work, but I'm enjoying the challenge and am learning a lot about the Bible as I prepare my lessons each week.
These pictures are some at the school (and the papers I have to grade!). The one with the teacher in the black dress (teacher Michelle) is the room where I will be taking over the 4th grade class! :)
