Marble Art

On Friday in Art class we did marble art. You take a marble dip it in paint and swirl the marble all over paper. The students really loved it, and they did a pretty fabulous job.

Malaysia and Marvelous Fruit

As you know for Idul Fitri I went to Malaysia. We spent lots of time driving around on a motorbike named Maggie trying to figure out where we were in this big earth. We figured it out for the most part.


We decided that we were going to create a TV show about 2 girls on a bike named Maggie in a quest for delicious food. You would watch that show right? Anyways. One night we went to a night market and bought lights, now they are hanging on our wall(after some mad hammering skills) and they look like this.


Brittany went to the market today to buy some fruit and veg., and this is what she came back with. It is marvelous looking, and tastes marvelous too. I already had a Mangosteen.

Rhyming Words

As we have been learning about rhyming words these past 2 weeks this conversation ensued...

"What is a word that rhymes with cart?"
"Part, mart, smart"
"Fart"
Resounding in a series a loud obnoxious noises. You catch the drift.

Week Four

I noticed that it has bean a little while since I have posted anything. School has been busier then what I remember it being last year. There have also been lots of different fun things that I have done over the last month and I guess that I have not told you about it. I thought that I would tell you through pictures.

I went to Bali for a wedding the weekend after we started school. It was a pretty small wedding but a lot of fun. Most of my friends were there, it was nice to catch up from the summer. when we were at the beach we always to Ray the chair man. I finally got a picture with him.

Brittany's friend Jess was in town. We took her up to Punchuk because we thought that we were going to go paragliding but it was booked out so we did not go. We had a beautiful drive up though.


Oh... I also have some students that you have not seen yet. I have 16 students. I am working on loving them everyday. They are not like last year which is okay, and that is why I am spreading the love.



On Tuesday I go and teach English in a village in Bogor. Bogor is about 20 minutes away to help to put things into perspective. We sing songs and dances to help them with their words. The children call us "Ka Leanne" which means 'older sister'. The kids are really cute and need some love and English which is what we give them.






I was feeling a little bit windy today but I figured that I should catch ya'll up on what is going on. Another great thing. We now have a hammock in the backyard. It has been one of my favorite places to go and sit. More to come, hopefully more frequently.
