A New School Year, A New Set of Changes and Lessons to Learn

        Our new school year has officially started!!!! I have been going full force since I came back to Paraguay. From helping our new teachers to adjust, to preparing for our re-accreditation, having a student teacher half the day, and adjusting to some chances in the school have only been the start of some of the changes and components to this new year.

      We have 5 new teachers this year and 4 major switches for some of our other teachers! They are working to adjust to both the culture, new school, and for all of our new teachers… their first year of teaching! They are full of energy and things are going well. It is crazy to think that I was in their shoes just 1 year ago! We are still in need of another teacher and could certainly use your prayers in the area (The position is middle school Social Studies and English if you know anyone who may be interested!)!


      With the new school year, also come new students! While I do have my old 4th grade class as my fifth grade class I do have a new set of students in 4th grade! Still I got to use know these students from camp, recess, chapel and other activities that we have done together. It seems strange that I already know so many of these students and while it is a fresh start, I already know so much! We have all gotten one more year under our belt and I can’t wait to see what we are going to be able to do!

Prayer Requests:
1. Please pray for all of the new teachers at ACA. They are starting teaching for the first time, which is overwhelming on top of moving around the world to a foreign country.
2. Please pray that we get the new teacher that we are looking for! (The position is middle school Social Studies and English if you know anyone who may be interested!)
3. Please pray for ACA and all of the new changes that it is going through!


Firsts:
- First time starting my second year of teaching!

- First time being a mentor teacher to one of the new teachers!
- First time being a cooperating teacher for a student teacher!
