Fourteen Hours Forward: Can you believe it....

A rainbow on Guam. This picture totally doesn't do it justice.

The girls came to class with me today. All so exciting for them....and my students! They really enjoyed having some youngsters in the classroom. Most even managed to watch their language.....which is a huge feat for them. Its an ongoing struggle, getting them to be cuss-free when in the class. The students are really doing SO much better with swearing- if they ever do slip they are quick now to apologize- so they are trying. I am so grateful for my students all being fairly behaved and respectful....especially when they came in today with stories of another teacher at the school getting "beaten up" by students. I did see the police cars when I came in.....but later heard another version which seemed closer to an elbow to the teacher's chest and her filing a complaint. The first version definitely had more teeth to it.

The girls didn't want to go when Kevin showed up to take them home at lunch time. Between all the attention from the students, the fun body parts to play with in the classroom and of course the whiteboards- who would want to leave?

Also today...

Finally received the pictures (thanks Barb and Ross for sending them) from the photo shoot we did .....in JULY! Not judging, not a hater, just sayin'. Some really great shots of the girls- Ann and Gene, bet you know what you are getting for Christmas...
