my week so far...

The kids this week are about to drive me CRAZY!

Monday- I loved my pre schoolers. They were great. They are so cute. I am hoping to take some pictures of them soon so I can post them. I am working on it. As yall know I am not great at taking pictures and posting them. I will work on it and I promise by the end of the summer I will have posted some pictures.

The elementary were great but I only worked with them for about 45 min.

The youth were not so great. They were very disrespectful and it made for a long not so great day. I was not a happy camper when I got back to my host home.

Tuesday- The pre K were not so good. They just didn't listen to me or anyone. It was not fun. But I think it could have been worse. I didn't work with the elementary today. I did Urban Experience instead. Each week a youth group comes to fortress to work with the kids there as a mission trip. And this summer they are learning a little bit about the neighborhood and what it means to live in poverty. Today they learned about being on Food Stamps and what it takes to go get food stamps and how much money that will give you for a month. They also planned a budget for the month. It was fun.

Then I worked with the youth. There were more of them today and they were tons better. We had several talks about what it means to be respectful. It was a good day. Tomorrow they go to the Holocaust Museum in Dallas. They get to ride the train over. I am not going because I am doing Urban Experience stuff so that should be fun. Well there is my week so far. I will try to blog more later when I am not so tired but for now I am out.
