So much happen’ lately…
February 17, 2008
So much has been happening lately! Midway through January, Sam and I started weekly pre-K on Wednesdays (my usual planning day). The pre-K went for 4 weeks, allow us to assess the children to see if they would be ready to start Kindergarten the following year. It was a lot of fun, but was exhausting since we had the kids for a full day (6:45-2). The same week pre-K started for me, I also got involved in Swim club, which meets twice a week for Elementary and 3 times a week for Middle School/High School. I’ve been going on Mondays and Wednesdays after school to help with that.
I have lots of pictures and figured out a way to show them to you, I hope. First off, February 5th was our 100th day of school and I took pictures of the kids doing different activities. This link: http://mnu.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2011128&l=ed98b&id=162800020
will direct you to that album with the 100th day of school and my trip to Manila Bay that following weekend.
That Saturday I also visited the island of Corregidor: http://mnu.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2011129&l=bb0fd&id=162800020
Then, the following week (which was last week, the week of Feb. 11th) was Filipiniana Week, celebrating the culture and arts of the Philippines. http://mnu.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2011144&l=56854&id=162800020
Last week we also took an all Elementary school field trip to 3 different places: Paper Village (to see how paper and soap is made), Mystical Cave, and the Blanco Family Art Gallery. Thursday was the field trip and Valentine’s day, Friday was the Fiesta (which I have no pictures of), and then Friday afternoon till Sunday afternoon I was gone on a women’s retreat.

You can see I’ve had a busy month and a half!! Well, starting this week I won’t have pre-K anymore, but still will have plenty to do. I would appreciate your prayers as the past week I’ve had to send a couple of boys to the office a couple of times. One of them has been particularly disobedient and bullying other kids. Please pray as I continue to teach, take proactive steps, and talking to parents. Thanks!
God bless,
Betsy
