FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!

Ok so again...I don't have any school pictures. Every time I am here at the school I am so super busy doing school stuff that I forget to take pictures. I will try to take pictures soon.

We had a great day. We started out with 12 students, but then went down to 11 because one of the kids was in the wrong class. I have 4 girls and 7 boys so far. I will have at least two more girls and who knows how many boys. They say it takes a couple weeks in Haiti to get all the kids to school and in the right classes and everything worked out. There are language barriers to be worked through in some situations and previous school records to sort out in others. I would challenge any of you teachers out there to come get a taste of Haitian Schooling adventures. Its definitely a great adventure. I made my bulletin boards and got everything ready last week and this week they all came it. It was a little overwhelming at first, but then we kind of settled in. I even know their names! I really worked hard to learn them today. I have Georgio, Djaminah, Victor, Lizi, Alexis Jean, and so forth and so on. :) They are great kids.

This week is only half days. Its a super blessing to be with them and not have to go right into school. I think my kids will be more than ready to hit the books by the time next monday comes along. Today and this week we are mostly just going over the rules. There is quite a list of them thats for sure.

On Friday and Saturday I was at the orphanage again and I think I mentioned that I participated in their closing programs for the camp. I am going to try to attach some pictures for that. They actually set up their own sound system for the camp production. It was pretty cool especially for Haiti. It made the ceremony really neat. The kids did recitations and sang and did a skit that they made up. It was really well done. Nope I had nothing to do with the sound system. It was just cool to sit their.
