NE Pennsylvania, Paraguay

Well, I am finally getting to the point where I feel very comfortable with my class and will miss them when I leave. I have several challenging students who keep me on my toes. However, I am really enjoying myself and am able to use everything I have learned from camp, college, and babysitting to help me in class. I have been in contact with my cooperating teacher and the principal in South America. Just a few more weeks until my life changes drastically!

Update!!

I started my first placement of student teaching in North East Pennsylvania last week. Just to update you a little, I have raised a little over $2,000 towards my trip. Additionally, I will need about $600 more before I am fully supported. I am so thankful for the generosity of the people who have donated money and volunteered to pray for me over the next few months. At this point, I am focusing on teaching (I teach math every day and will begin teaching more as the weeks continue) and working on getting my visa together for Paraguay. Please keep praying!

Plane Tickets

As March approaches, more and more details are falling into place for my upcoming trip. This week, we have been discussing plane tickets and housing. It's crazy to think that in just a few months, I will be teaching in another country!

The fun begins!

Hello everyone! As many of you know, I will be spending about eight weeks student teaching in Asuncion, Paraguay. I am so excited to go and teach in South America! I will be teaching in Paraguay from mid March until the beginning of May. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have on this blog as I will try to check it and update it frequently.
