1st A

Well, our week of inservice is over.  I can't believe that I got my classroom (mostly) done.  Just a few lesson plans to finish and I'm ready for kids on Monday!  After writing 8 (yes, that's an 8) different class lists for the two 1st grade classes, that is set as well!  Except, of course, for the students who will come to enroll Monday morning. 

It is looking like a good year.  The teachers all seem professional this year.  Many have years of teaching experience in the states.  There are even two other teachers doing the same reading program that I wanted to try this year!!  They are going to help me out and share ideas.  There are too many coincidences in Guatemala for them to be coincidences.  God has specifically brought each teacher here.  I am happy to be working with Lisa, Charlotte, and Mr. Kotke again.  Ms. Jenny has even been super helpful, even though I'm not in the Pre-School area this year.  Thank you a Million times for my laminating paper on Thursday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are some before and after pictures: 


Getting Pupusas for lunch


















Word Wall

It looked- and felt- like so many books in my suitcase.

I love the Alphabet cards I made!

I want to make some curtains and make it a little homier.

This little house is mine.
The smaller-than-regulation soccer field.  Beyond that is the playground.

  1. Looks great! Loved seeing the pupusa because I have been making them, and it is just cool to see that they really do eat them in Latin/South America. Have a great year :) Looks like fun!

  2. Thanks Lizzie! This one had beans inside and was delicious! I've been told if you want a really good pupusa, get one in El Salvador, where they originate from.
