Today was a rough day for teaching. The kids would just not be quiet for me and it made the day so much harder and not as fun because I'd constantly have to get them to be quiet, but then they'd only stay quiet for a little bit. So I think I have to start being more strict, because I'm not very strict at all right now and I don't want to be strict but I think I have to at least until they learn to behave better so it won't be like this every day. Cause they're such good kids, but they're super chit chatty and it can make it hard to teach and makes me loose my voice when I have to talk over them all day.


But on Fridays we watch movies in the afternoon. So during the movie they were very good and quiet! they were really into it, we finished Zootopia and then started this Tom & Jerry movie. And they LOVE Tom and Jerry haha

Then afterschool I got to walk with Katiana to her home and visit her Mom and little sister Laura and older sister Dayana and I love her mom so much! She is so sweet and she was so happy to see me and I was so thrilled to see her too. I missed her so much. I am so glad that I get to stay in Haiti this time and be able to see Katiana and her family so much more than before. And then Sophiana her other sister who I love with all my heart got retained too many times at Sonlight so she was not able to go back this year, which was really sad to hear. But Katiana said the other day that they don't know if Sophiana will go to school because they can't afford it, so I asked her how much it costs and its only 1,000 Gourdes (or $15 US dollars) a month so I told her I will pay for it. But it is just sad to think about how a lot of kids in Haiti can't afford to go to school, even though its only 15 dollars a month.

And I also got to ride a taxi (aka moped) with Katiana to downtown, and that was fun I always love riding the taxi's. :) We went downtown because one of the boys in my class James got a hole in his nice school shoes and he was devastated and so I told him I'd get him a new pair. And Katiana was so great at bargaining with the people at the market to get a good price. She did great! haha
