So, today started out with leading the devotion the student assembly (I'll post pictures tomorrow). There are so many kids at this school that they have to split the kids up for morning assembly, which is a time for singing a few songs, having a small devotion, and hearing the annoucements. I spoke in front of the kinder-4th grade students. I talked about fear and how God is always with us. I wasn't sure how long to speak so I kept it pretty short. The principal told me the message was good but it wasn't long enough - whoops!
My assignment today was to help in the kindergarten area. They have lower kinder and upper kinder. The lower kinder is like pre-Kindergarten in American but at ACA they start at age 3! When I walked into the kinder room I was assigned to, there were 45 kids in there, and this was a lower kinder class!!!!! It was amazing, though. There were very few discipline problems and pretty much very eager to learn. When I left to go help in another classroom, the teacher asked if I would come back around 2:00 PM. I wasn't sure what to expect because by that time, the kinder students are gone. The afternoon time is reserved for teachers to work on grading and homework. (I wish we could do that in the Texas!) Well, since the teachers don't have access to a copy machine, they have to input the homework in the students' notebooks by hand! I think I traced about 40 cats into notebooks because they are working on the letter "c". I also helped input more alphabet work in two class sets of notebooks. They do this every day! Through all this work, I met two really wonderful ladies who love teaching and made an impact on my life today.
I must end with this - GOD BLESS ALL KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS! You amaze me!
