Annie and I are more comfortable with the teaching schedule now and we’re beginning to let the kids come in and hang out. So far we’ve had a culturally accepted system where the girls come over and hang out with Annie while I do work and then the boys come over and I entertain them while Annie works/rests. We’ll switch things around eventually but I think the kids are more comfortable that way.
One boy named Bokrok has a huge crush on Annie. She brought out her ukulele to learn from a group of boys but none of them knew how to play. Bokrok took it and told Annie he would sing her a song. He immediately began strumming fake chords on the ukulele while singing “Annie I love you, you are so beautiful…” It was one of the funniest things I’ve seen anyone do on Ejit.
My 6th grade class is still giving me a lot of trouble and Kristin came in to observe and give me a few pointers. I’ve set up individual agreements with a good half of my kids to help them work out management problems. She’s coming in again next week to observe us for two or three straight days. We’ll see how it goes then.
We went in yesterday to run some errands and the weather did not cooperate. The time constraints of the tide forced us into a walk across the reef in the rain, and it hasn’t stopped all day. On a positive note, our rain catchment is overflowing and we don’t have to worry too much about wasting water for our showers.
