Sheeeeeees Baaaaaack!

First of all, I'm so sorry that I haven't written in a few weeks...on top of all the crazy changes we've had, I totally forgot my user name and password, and I just now took the time to get it all figured out. (Yikes!)

So, top priority, I'd like to say that we are so thankful to have Miss Kathryn back from Argentina! She will be giving us a Missionary Update this Sunday, so the kids wont want to miss it!

Since I haven't posted since graduation Sunday (partially because I couldn't remember my password, and partially because I was too depressed to talk about loosing some of our students) I'll fill you in on what is going on:

We went from a class of 10-12 down to a class of 4-5...Big adjustment for me, especially since so much of our class time revolves around conversation interaction with the kids. But I think I'm getting back into the "groove" so to speak, and our newbies are getting used to being in an older class. (I must say though, they were NOT happy about leaving Ms. Elisabeth's class...cant say that I blame them though, she has a heart for kids that I admire!)

While Miss Kathryn was gone, Miss Kristen filled in, and did a wonderful job! (You're welcome back any time Kristen!)

I guess I should introduce you to our Newbies!
So Here they are:

Ben~ He's incredibly sweet, and tenderhearted. Haven't found a shy bone in him yet, and he has been so willing to get in there and try out our new class!

Luke~ The younger brother to an "Alumni" of our class, he's learning the ropes well. He's a goofball, and keeps the class lively (which I appreciate...going from a large energetic class, to just a handful makes from some quieter moments that I wasn't used to!)

Our Veteran Anna~ You know her, but shes now the big fish in our pond. Overnight she went from the youngest to the oldest. She has matured so much and is setting the bar high as an example to our new students.

Tito~ What a cool kid...and a cool name at that! He's a sweet kid with a lot of stories! You give him a word, he'll give you a story! We are glad to have him!

So there you have it...that's the "New" OG Kids in a nut shell- I have my user name/password written down, so be looking for more posts soon! Ha ha!

Thanks again parents, for allowing me the opportunity to work with your amazing kids!
