This morning I walked into the school yard and noticed that Luc was back. I didn't expect to see him so soon. I figured that he would be out for at least a few more days. It is great to have him back.
Once school started I found out that I wouldn't be teaching 6th grade because Thom, the 6th grade teacher, was ill and had to cancel his class. It was good to have an extra hour today so I could catch up with some grading and to get ahead with some planning. I am trying to wrap most of the lessons today because we only have two classes next week. Fortunately, the quarter does not end this year. We have a few weeks at the beginning of the year which are included in the second quarter. If it did end this year, the last two quarters would be much longer than the first two especially with the two week break that we had.
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.
