I apologize for not sending out an update before now. Our internet went out the week before Thanksgiving and I couldn't access my blog. The only time I left the house to get on the internet was for homework :).

| Green Eggs and Ham in Spanish: Juevos Verdes con Jamon |
I very much enjoy working with the kids teaching English and first grade. Our first grade students have been improving in counting, the alphabet and even writing!! What a blessing...it took us a while to get a system...and we still have a loooooong way to go, but I feel daily like we really are improving our teaching and helping the kids grow in their education. Chris told me the other day that the school works so much better now than it did. Last year he remembers being here when kids were running around outside of class instead of paying attention. Now he says it is cool to come to the school and see and hear all the students in their classroom learning. I feel really blessed to be apart of this improvement, we may have a long way to go, but we are already seeing change!

English has been a big challenge for me all year, but I'm learning now how to teach the students in an organized and fun way. Right now they are learning their numbers, and can already ask "What is your name," and " How are you." Again, I have a lot of work to do to help them, but they really like learning English and are picking it up quickly.
