I had a visitor in my classroom the other day. His name is Pimiento (Pepper in English). We have a few dogs that live on our school's campus. It's quite humorous that they hang around the playground and the office, and the kids play with them all the time. This one morning before school Pepper came in my classoom and hung out for a while. It's fun to have some furry friends around since I don't have time or space for a pet right now.
Friday was my first parent-teacher conference day, and I survived! Most of them said their children were very happy and loved school. What an answer to my prayers, both to have survived conferences and to find out that my students do actually enjoy my class. I still have to be mean Ms. Letchworth oftentimes as they learn the rules and routine of a full day at school, but what a blessing to know that my little ones enjoy coming to school and learning! I pray that they can continue to learn and grow, to see the love of Jesus in me and the other teachers, and that I can rely on God's strength to teach and love them well the remainder of the year.P.S. Only 9 weeks until I come home for Christmas break!!! But who's counting? :)
