So today in my 6th grade English class, I was explaining to the students how important it is for them to learn to speak English fluently. We talked about different jobs they could get and how it would help them a lot in life to be bilingual. I told them they have a great opportunity here in their school to learn 2 languages, even more than children in the United States. I informed them that I took Spanish in high school. One of the boys raised his hand and asked in amazement, "Miss, did you pass?" Of course I had to laugh at this because I passed with an A. But obviously, to them, I cannot speak Spanish.
We have one full week of classes, and this week is their independance day. This means there is no school. So my goal for this week is to prepare my classes for the year! Things have been going better as the students learn to adjust to my teaching style and I adjust to their learning style. Thank you all so much for your prayers.
Tomorrow night we invited a bunch of the teachers over to watch fireproof, I am praying that this will open some doors to good conversations. Continue to pray for the salvation of many. Thanks for your prayers that I will learn Spanish, I can definitely tell that God is helping me to remember!!!
