School starts!

After over a year of training and support raising here we are! Our first day of school at SAM Academy in Pucallpa, Peru! I didn't realize just how excited I would be to be back in a classroom! I am teaching third grade while Mike is teaching Geometry, Chemistry, and Earth Science for high school and middle school. Ella takes her teacher home with her as she is in my class and Liam is attending Colegio Cristiano Peruano Americano, a Peruvian school. He is in the Kinder 4 class. We are very thankful for parents from our school who are helping us carpool him!

Liam's first day of school!

Ella's first day!

Back to School meeting before starting our first day. Minori Lucas our principal is in the front.

My little group to start the year! We have at least 4 more coming who are currently on furlough or finishing a term at a Peruvian school. Aren't they a cute bunch?!

Hypothesizing how to balance a robot on our fingers. We had new desks on the way...they came up short...literally. They were built too small for our big third graders. Such is life here!!

It worked!

We are off to a great start!
