Butterflies!

We're learning about the Life Cycle of Insects! I divided up a paper plate into four different parts. The kids drew leaves and then finger painted the egg, caterpillar, pupa and adult butterfly! They did a great job!

.....Don't Forget Australia!

We've been learning about Continents and learned a song that says "don't forget Australia".

A lady who is a BIG Shining Light advocate has come to visit us from Australia. So she came to class and told us about all the animals that live in Australia. She told us that in Australia they greet each other by saying "Good-day mate"! The kids imitated her and got the accent right! Then she pulled out the Vegemite and let us try some on a cracker!

Some kids really liked it, and others didn't. One kid said it tasted like fire and was spicey!

Tug of War

Friday Fun Day at the Learning Center! Tug of war will get a fair amount of wiggles out!

Under the Northern Skies

Living life with a beautiful view! When the clouds clear, this view is spectacular from our school!

So full of energy! Sometimes the boys just drive me nuts, but then I take a step back and look at them smile and laugh. They LOVE to take tests..... any test will do! I'm so glad they love to learn!


Boys hanging out during recess!

Flooding

In an area a few hours North of us the river flooded and fill these shops with river rock.



The river deposited rocks in trees.


This used to be a field, but is now covered with river rock. Villages may have to completely relocate because all their crops are covered in river rock.

Last week we were able to deliver 50 food packages in a few villages.

We're learning about the Life Cycle of Frogs in Science! I had fun painting on my classroom windows!

Smoked Salmon!!

Thank you Dave for your wonderful gift of smoked salmon!!! I ate the first tin last year and saved this tin for a special event. My friend Robin spent 8 months here in 2008 & 2009, but now she's back for a visit for a few weeks. If anyone here(in Asia) would appreciate a smoked salmon lunch, it would be her. She's from Ucluelet and has worked with a charter fishing company for several summers! We're so blessed. Thanks a bunch!
