All was good today except for the heat and humidity which was actually about what it normally seems like. I guess the weather had been pretty nice before and had spoiled us a little. School went well and after today I had a few days of grades recorded which was nice to see that everyone has started out mostly getting A’s and B’s. I am sure that will change as we are all going over review material, but I like knowing that we are off to a good start.
I also gave my first 3-minute speed test to my 6th grade math class. Only one student got a B…all others got A’s! Please pray that once the material begins to get more difficult that I can be effective in teaching and keep them learning.
About Me
- DJodts
- I have created this blog to share the stories of my trip to Haiti as a missionary at Sonlight Ministries as I will be teaching Algebra, Geometry, Adv. Math as well as 6th grade math. Sonlight Ministries was started by Roger and Norma Alexander in 1985 after their second year in Haiti. Before moving to Haiti I have visited four times on one week trips to volunteer with anything that was needed. This mainly consisted of construction work as groups from my church, WRCC, have helped build a new multipurpose building for Sonlight which will be called SonCenter. Construction isn’t the only type of work. Some like to spend time in the classrooms interacting with the students as teachers aides or sitting in the hall with a student one-on-one to help with grammar, math, etc. Groups have also helped with numerous tasks such as painting inside houses, outside houses, and rooftops. If you enjoy helping others and would ever consider visiting please let me know; it is a life changing experience.
