Quisqueya Christian School here in Haiti still needs a Middle School math teacher. How about it? Ya wanna come and teach here this fall? Or if you are still in college and want to come next year, I’m sure we’ll have other openings.
Here’s what Sam says…
“My class had a big party. We ate all kinds of stuff: pizza, pop, candy, sour spagetti, and chocolate kisses. We had a delicious cake. It said “Congratulations 4th (but it was crossed off) 5th graders”. My mom made it. One of the students came late. I got my report card and I did very well. I can’t wait to sleep in tomorrow!”
Now from Lauri:
Tomorrow I’m going with Marly to the Mennonite clinic out in the country side. We’ll do a dental seminar for the patients who are waiting outside to see the other doctor and Marly. I’ll assist Marly so the exams will go faster too. We made up a new exam form to use. Then Friday we have one more staff meeting at school and then week I’ll work part at the library and part doing all our different clinics. Chow!
May First in Haiti is our Labor Day. It is a day off of work and school and usually there is a large agricultural fair held downtown. Our family enjoyed a vacation day yesterday and we took another family from school to a pool to go swimming with us. As a child, May Day for me was a fun tradition of taking homemade baskets with flowers and candies to neighbors home. We’d leave the basket on the doorstep, ring the doorbell and run home. If we were caught, well….then we got kissed!
Today at school we had a teachers in-service discussing what we use for our Bible class curriculm. It was interesting to see, especially what high school uses as they try to go through the whole main lessons of the scriptures in a year. Marly has a Gideons International meeting tomorrow. Hope you all have a good weekend and its warming up where ever you are!
This morning at school, I organized a Poetry Assembly for Elementary students. It was so fun to enjoy poems with the kids, teachers and parents. I organized a little reception too for the parents to come and have coffee and a cinnamon roll before the the program. I really enjoy being involved at our school.
I gave the parents a homework assignment to memorize a poem over the weekend with their kids. I suggested the classic by Robert Louis Stevenson - I Have A Little Shadow.
Tomorrow we have a Family Sports Day at school. I’m looking forward to a day just to hang out, chat with old friends, meet new parents, play with my kids and eat. The school and our activities plus the church are our main social events. Doesn’t get much better to me.
