Ni hao ya’ll
It is hard to think that I
have been here for almost a week already! It has truly flown bye. With every
transition there are rocky parts, which I have been able to work my way through
with my awesome support group at home and here. But there have also been some
fun adjustments! Preschool class is a whole new adventure and I am so glad that
I will have it to help keep me busy throughout the week. I have a total of 5
classes each day Monday- Friday. My
first two classes are the “kindergarten” classes which I have 4 kids in the
first class which is an hour and half long. Then I have 3 different kids for
the 2nd class, which is an hour long. For both of these classes we
are working on ABC’s, colors, shapes, story time, songs, and playtime! Soon we
will be able to add in arts and crafts, the first step is getting the kids
adjusted to having me as their teacher. After my morning classes I have a
couple hour break because of lunch and naptime. During the afternoon I have 3
classes with my little ones (each class gets younger as the day goes on!) for
45minutes each class. There are between 3 and 4 kids and each one. At this
stage we are just having playtime and singing songs. It is all about them
getting to know me and me them and then hopefully we can make our way into
doing story time and some other fun stuff. It has been fun but I have been
really thankful for having Anne’s extra hands this week and I am not sure what
I am going to do without her! I know that everything will work out and go just
the way God wants it to!
Since Anne is only here until
Tuesday I am taking her on a bit of site seeing tomorrow. We are going to be
off to the great wall and the pearl market! It should be a fun day and I am
excited about here getting to see a bit more then just life here at hope!
That’s all for tonight! Here are
a few pictures for class.

**As I am writing this blog
Anne is mixing up some weird tuna stuff and throwing sprite at me! Life is not
dull while she is here! Oh and to make things more fun we have been without
water for over an hour!
