Hello!!!! I hope my last blogs didn't exhaust all of you! I hope you all are doing well also! So I've been observing the primary school all week trying to figure out how I can help and after a discussion with mom last night I think I've discovered ways I can help! It's so encouraging for me because the past couple days have been tough bc I have been feeling like, how can I help? What can I do to make a difference? It's been difficult to find my purpose or niche here, BUT I think I've found it! They have 2 classes in the primary school with only 3 teachers total. In each of the classes there is a very low group that has no idea what's going on and a higher group that follows, so we suggested to the administrator and Katherine that I pull out the low kids in each class for an hour each and work on phonics with them. They don't understand letter sounds or recognition but they're expected to spell and write and read English at 4 years old... Are you serious?! I really have hope that I can help with this and with time I'm sure it will be better, so please pray for that! Your responses are wonderful and your prayers are working! Thank you all so much! Miss and love you all!
