        What a good week! We are hard at work finishing up our amusement park rides in their design and will be calculating and determining the financial components regarding the park. From maintenance and staff to concession stand food and prizes, the students will determine how they can best use their budget to provide and run the amusement park! Next week we only have 3 days of school as we do celebrate one American holiday, THANKSGIVING!!!! We get Thursday and Friday off and then the following week is our last week which ends on Thursday! I can’t believe how fast this time has flown.

Catapults are so great at
demonstrating levers... and who
doesn't love catapulting candy across the classroom!
        With the end of the semester does come excitement and extra balls of energy! Thankfully the Lord will always fill up my cup to overflowing with patience and joy. Still these students are jumping beans trying to hold themselves down with scotch tape. All of my students have had a great semester and we are coming to a good end!



November Fest: A large garage
 sale at our school which happened on Friday!
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for patience of our students and for the teachers, well will certainly need it as the weather is in the high 90s and the holidays are soon approaching!
- Please pray for the physical and mental health of the all of our teachers, the stress and fatigue can take its toll.

Firsts:- First time teaching and helping with Christmas decorations that did not involve snow of any sort both in art club and with my class! Of course this was more my choice than Paraguay’s as they use snowman and fake snow all the time, yet none has ever been seen in Paraguay!
- First time hearing the word “disconcentrating”, used in the context of “You are disconcentrating me”. Children say the cutest things!
