Monday-Friday, March 1-5

Since things have been so in a routine lately, I’ll just highlight/summarize this week in one blog.
Monday was definitely a Monday; I was tired and ready for vacation. Jacki was home sick on Monday, so she graciously made homemade pizza for us for dinner, which was amazing. Tuesday I think I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed because I had a shorter fuse than normal. When I have days like those, I try to not let it affect the way I teach, but unfortunately it does at times. I ran up Celaque on Monday for exercise, but just needed to rest on Tuesday, so I took a nap Tuesday afternoon to rest. Wednesday I did chapel on the tower of the Fruits of the Spirit and had my kids act as fruit trees that did and did not produce fruit. I think they liked it. Art is on Wednesdays as well and they had a messy project that day: paper mache. The floor was covered in newspaper, flour and water and some kids decided it would be funny to dump some out on each other as well. Crazy kids, but I think they really enjoyed it.

My tutorias with science went well this week. We played a game, girls vs boys and my boys are rambunctious. That energy just works out so much better when there’s less kids in tutorias. They got so excited about the answers they had to come up with as a team; they would jump up and down with their arms around each other and chant the answer…so awesome. Thursday pretty well, although I had progress reports to work on. Finally Friday arrived and I found myself through another week.

Funny things my kids have said: I asked Husai what’s up and he said the sky; I was definitely not expecting him to answer that and I could tell he was all proud of himself. It’s also amusing that my kids can tell when I’m tired ; they’ll be like, “Miss, you look tired,” and they know I like and need coffee haha.
I had a quick talk with 9th grade about the word b**** because they were singing Katy Perry’s “Hot n Cold” and came to the part about ‘you PMS like a b**** I should know’ and one of the girls was like ‘we can’t sing that word it’s bad.’ And not all the rest of the kids knew what she was talking about. So I explained what the word meant to an extent and strongly advised them to first, never use that word, and second (especially for the boys) to never call a girl that word. So that was fun.

Just another week in my life in Honduras….
