Week Three

This has been a pretty good week. I have started doing the pledges (and lead songs in between. I am NOT a singer), morning prayertime, and mathboard. Morning prayer time is great. Just about all the kids give requests and usually they are the ones who want to pray for that request. They are not shy about praying in front of their friends. We usually have about 10 kids pray and I close. Next week I have the reading groups and phonics lessons. My supervisor came in on Friday. I have a few things to work on but she said she was pleased with what she saw. Very slowly, my confidence is returning. My CT gives me a lot of encouragement and praise. Friday the class had a Valentine party. I enjoyed it as much as they did. One parent made special cupcakes and the kids made a keychain that says Jesus loves (a heart bead) me. They all passed out their valentines and most of them remembered me as well. I recieved gift cards, small boxes of chocolates, and various other presents. I thought that was so thoughtful of them. I really didn't expect anything but what a blessing I received. I can't believe I have been there 3 weeks now. I get my midterm evaluation next week. YIKES!
