Yesterday I found out that I was doing todays devotion. Because every morning at 7:30 am all the teachers and assistants meet and have a 5ish minute devotion before school. And so I just shared part of my testimony with them. :)
Every morning we start class with a journal question and today's was, What is your favorite recess games? And a lot of kids were like, the swings, or hide and seek, or the teeter totter. And then I walk over to Junior and he wrote, my favorite recess game is making the girls mad. hahaha He makes me laugh.
Almost every day he'll tell me word for word "Miss Sarah, I have a problem" And then he'll tell me his problem for the day. Today it was a little cut on his thumb that he wanted a band aid for, it wasn't a bad cut or bleeding or anything and he probably didn't really need a band aid, but I gave him one anyway haha.
Also today in Math they were absolutely perfect. It was amazing. My amazing helpers Miss Illianise and Mme Jonny started helping me with points (because they are in teams and can earn/lose points depending on their behavior) and so they were much better at taking away points when they misbehaved and because of that they would behave so much better to get points back. It was amazing . And then we made chicken masks because in science were learning about animals, like chickens. That was crazy. But fun. They were all clucking like chickens and being super cute and silly
And then afterschool I had bible study with my girls. We went over Philippians 2 and then did prayer requests. And Katiana prayed for us all, and when she prayed for me, I wanted to tear up because I've just known her for so long and hearing her pray to God was beautiful.
And when they heard I was only staying in Haiti one year they were sad and they told me I need to take seven suitcases with me when I leave so I can take them all home with me haha.
And then I taught them how to fold origami hearts because I love teaching people that
And then yesterday afterschool I went to Leisa's house. I helped her and Dayanne read our reading story. It was really good to read it one on one with them because then I could see what kind of words they struggled with and could help correct them. Then we went over our spelling words. And then we played. There were a few other kids there, one of them was Emmanuela
she was the first kid I met when I came to Haiti for the first time, when I was in eigth grade. And she was in kindergarten. And now she is in fourth grade! I had a picture of us together on my facebook of me and her back then and I showed it to her, at first she didn't believe it was her haha She is really sweet and cute.
So then with the kids I played duck duck goose, red rover, and hide and seek. And then I showed them snapchat filters for their first time seeing them and their reactions to what it did to their face was priceless, they loved it. :) And then I also showed the I love Waffle book that my mom made to the kids and they loved that too
