Today we did that art project where you color the paper with different color crayons and then color over them in black and then you get a paper clip and scratch off designs and it shows the color underneath. The kids really liked it they thought it was so cool. But I should've told them to draw with a paper underneath because a lot of them got their desks dirty with black crayons, but my helpers Mme Johnny and Miss Illianise are amazing and helped clean it up so quickly.

And also today all my kids did really well on their tests, especially reading! Because on the last few tests a lot of them would forget simple things like starting sentence with capital letter and ending with a period, but on this test I think none of them forgot except one, but still that's awesome. And their just all so smart in math and I'm so so so proud of them. :)

Then we finished Cars and started Ice Age during movie time.

And at recess we played with hula hoops that we got, and the kids really like them.

And then afterschool I went with Rose to her house, and she has two older twin sisters that go to Sonlight, their so sweet and cute just like Rose. :) And Rose's mom is so so nice. They bought me juice and her mom made me this amazing drink. It was mashed up banana, milk, sugar and some other yummy spices and stuff, it tasted amazing. You drink it warm. It was like if banana bread mix was in the form of a drink, it was just so good. And then she let me take home a jar full of this really yummy coconut snack that is like shredded coconut but it tastes sweet and is crunchy, its hecka good!
While I was there we watched part of Matilda on their laptop, it was in French and had Spanish subtitles haha, but we just watched it for a little bit and then I played kickball with them in their front yard. It wasn't a large front yard or anything, but we made it work and had a lot of fun. And it was less tiring to play since it was in a small space and you didn't have to run as much, so I liked that haha

Then I read part of our next reading story with Rose. And they invited me back over tomorrow for spaghetti breakfast, so I'm excited about that.

Yesterday, Thursday, I played soccer, when I play I'm always on Wawens and Marc's team. And I always try to steal the ball from Christopher, he is the best soccer player in our class I think, so its always hard for me to steal the ball from him. I almost made a goal, but didn't haha, but Marc made a goal!

And afterschool I played basketball with Woodkimley, it was really fun haha but I am horrible at it. Like to warm up I just shot baskets and out of probably a good 50 shots I made like 8 haha. And it was a little embarrassing because I stand out more because of my skin, so more people saw how bad I was haha, but I still had so much fun because I love playing basketball even though I am very bad at it. And then I tried to do lay ups. And then we played 2 on 2 game and I actually made 2 baskets during the game which I am super proud of myself for. We played against Algeorge, who is in 8th grade and on the basketball team at Sonlight, and this other guy who I don't know his name. We lost. But we lost 8 to 12, which isn't that bad. And then Woodkimley and Algeorge played another game and I watched, and while I was watching, I met two other girls at the basketball court and they were very nice and we tried to shoot baskets (on the other side of the court) and when I made it they clapped for me, it was sweet. They tried to talk to me in Kreyol, but I couldn't really understand, but I was able to tell them I was a second grade teacher in Kreyol. So that's something at least. I can't wait until I know enough to actually have a conversation with people, that will be awesome.

And then on Wednesday we had Kreyol lessons with Phoebe, Samantha's aide, and that was good. I was able to understand some of the questions she asked me and answer back so that was cool. But I still have so so much to learn. And Samantha and I went on a walk/run up to the cross with the pretty view.
