Oct. Update

Sorry there are no pictures. I try not to put up pictures with faces just because this is the world we live in.

Dear Caring Family and Friends,

Yes, I am still here. I am so sorry I haven’t sent out an update in a while. This semester has been a whirlwind. I have a great class. I am actually getting a new student on Thursday and that will make 20 in my class. It is a very full active and energetic class. We have lots of fun. Lately, we have had some very good discussions in Bible. “Miss Harris, how was God made?” They love listening to Bible stories. They are very sweet…most of the time. J My director’s granddaughter recently joined our class. It has been interesting to watch her get use to Ghana.

I have a prayer request. I am actually coming home November 4^th. I have to have a small minor surgery done and will need the rest of the semester to recover. I will return after Christmas in January. Please pray that all goes well and heals properly. Also, pray for the faculty as everyone decides what to do for the following year.

I thank God for all of you, your prayers, thoughts and support.

You know you're a kindergarten teacher when.....

You know you're a kindergarten teacher when:

• you see a senior in high school with a skinned up knee and you stop to look at it
• he says it's ok but you put neosporin on it anyway
• you don't want his shorts to take off all the medicine so you insist on putting a band-aid on it
• you pull the band-aid out of your apron pocket
• this sounds like the book "If you give a mouse a cookie..."

Yet after all that, I still remembered to give him a pass to his homeroom. :)

You also know you're a kindergarten teacher when:

• you paint at 8:00am and enjoy it! :)
• you chase the 2nd grade teacher around with glitter!!! ;) Oh so fun.

Anyway, we had a good and busy day! towards the end of it, low and behold, I discovered that I get another student!!! YAY!! I tested her this afternoon; she is precious. Hopefully, she will be in school on Thursday! OK enough with that. I am coming with an update and pictures!! Yes I am greatly overdue with pictures. I thought I had lost my camera, but God was gracious and showed me where I had hidden it from myself! :)

Please, I'm coming!
