July 7


The first day of workshops began pretty much on time. Five teachers (all first year or new) showed up. The subject matter for this week is Classroom Management using "Shepherding a Child's Heart in the Classroom" (Ted Tripp) and The Effective Teacher (Harry Wong). It is a very quiet group, but they all seem to be soaking up the materials. Linda spent the day in the office with Elsa, working on organizing files, setting up new files for the new students, and her favorite task - wrapping coins to take to the bank. (here you have to make your own coin wrappers - it is a challenge trying to hold the coins while getting a piece of paper wrapped around them.)

In the evening we had dinner (Chirmole with home make corn tortillas!) at Albert and Romalda's. It was a wonderful time - Romalda and Linda got caught up with life happenings and Dale and Albert spent time comparing school notes and watched a movie with the kids. It was a late evening!

Pray for enrollement for the Worldview workshops next week - right now it is going slowly.
