WE SURVIVED!
The morning started out pretty solid. I had to lead the songs for chapel--which were not so solid. They do songs I know, but they do them differently so I was very unsure of myself. Afterward Joe told me that I was drowning and that he wanted to help me but didn't know how! I don't think the kids thought it was THAT bad (hopefully!), but it wasn't that great. I did teach them that "praise ye the Lord---hallelujah" song that we always did in VBS. I don't think they knew it, but they yelled really loud anyway.
I have eight 5th and 6th graders and they are precious! I absolutely love them, and I'm so glad I have this age group. I'm used to being around my eleven-year-old sister and her buddies which helped. Hopefully I'm not speaking too soon. Three of them could potentially cause some trouble, but hopefully nothing more than small annoyances. Class time was my favorite part of the day. After that, things got a little hectic.
Playing outside is so fun, and we had a ball chasing each other around on the ball field, but it's just so hot here. One of the little kindergarteners actually cried because he didn't want to be out in the heat any more. We were definitely feeling his pain. Whewhee. My body is not quite used to this yet! Hopefully it will adjust quickly, because summer is only going to heat up.
One of the boys that lives in the Harambee Men's House(where all our boys live) brought the girls pizza tonight. It was so sweet and we were very appreciative-- we were all exhausted from such a long day. 8 AM -5:30 PM is such a long time. Hopefully we will all adjust to that as well!
I can't believe I'm still awake.
Love,
LH
