Today I went into both the grade R (kindergarten) classes and taught the first lesson from the math packets that I made.  The teachers had to translate of course…but I made a lot of gestures and such…so that the kids could understand me.  I wanted to teach the first lesson, so that the teacher...

Since the electric went off here the other day, I can no longer get my computer to work. I believe that when the electric came back on it gave my computer a surge & burnt out my laptop adapter. My parents are mailing me a new one, however that will take several weeks to receive. So dont get upset if...

Wahoo…my computer parts arrived and I’ve been back online for a couple of weeks now, so I thought I should update my blog…I’m pretty behind with it.  I’m going to start adding posts gradually and backdating them.  I hope all of you are doing well.

I made the agonizing decision to come back the US and cut more PC service short…meaning I didn’t finish my two years of service.  I will not list here the reasons for this decision.  The reasons are very personal.  I wish all those that frequent my blog searching for info regarding the PC,...

I received the following via email and thought it worthy of posting here.  The reform plan that was attached to this email is 146 pages long which is too long to post here.  However, I really enojoyed reading it and I think you would too if you are in any way interested in the PC…esp. if you are...

I received another email that I thought was more than worthy of being posted here.   Casey Frazee has created a blog and facebook site dedicated to support PCV’s that have been physically assaulted during service.  Casey detailed everything in her email, so I’ve posted it below.  I urge you ...

Whew….I’m tired again today…but I wanted to give an update on the school… On Monday night, I made up a bunch of worksheets for the grade one and grade R classes and saved them on my computer. Then on Tuesday morning at the staff meeting (there is a staff meeting every morning at 7:30 before...
