Here I am in the hallway leading up to my apartment!
I've also "survived" my first day of teaching! I teach three classes a day in the afternoons, and let me tell you, it is blazing HOT! Actually more humid than hot...so it makes things interesting to say the least. The kids and I drink lots of water! I teach K-8th grades which is quite extreme. I go from little nuggets who love everything I do to kids who think they are too cool for school! I've never had to mentally switch gears before regarding a wide variety of dvelopmental ages. It's like I witness all the stages of child development in one day! Overall, I am VERY thankful for this job and am going to learn a lot. I still very unqualifed, but as some of you reminded me, the Lord delights in turning the unqualified into the qualified! So if any good comes out of my teaching, and these kids experience the love of Christ it will be because of what the Lord has done through me!

I hope it cools off for you! It can be miserable with humidity so heavy! I learned that if i must be out in the blazing heat/humidity to drink, eat LIGHT and get good sleep. Sweating is good for ya too! Keeps ya healthy!! I pray your days are full of joy my friend!
Kel, I'm sure you'll bring the heat in the heat.
Considering the developmental differences and staying with the changes is difficult. We have to do that all the time over at Crux33.
6th graders LOVE gorilla, man, gun....while 11th graders generally will fold their arms in disgust at even the insinuation that they might play. =)
