Casualty in the classroom

Sometimes in a classroom in Indonesia there are casualties.  This is probably a weekly occurrence.  Today  I had to scoop a dead lizard from under a students desk with a piece of paper.  Once I got it on the paper then I threw it in the trash can.  Yesterday there was a live frog.  A couple of weeks ago a kitten under the computer desk.  That is a day in the life of a teacher in Indonesia.

Spring Break this year was in Australia.  Brittany and I drove on the GOR (Great Ocean Road) with our friends Matt and Rocio.  We borrowed my headmasters car.  We nicknamed it Great White.  It was a boat of a car.  Then we flew to Sydney to spend some time with my dear friends Brent and Kathy.

Some highlights were driving the Great Ocean Road, walking through the botanical gardens along the harbor in Sydney, spending time with good friends, and eating pizza with a great view of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. 

Easter Lilies

We made Easter Lilies to remind us that there is new life when we accept Jesus into our hearts.  We were learning about Easter and Jesus rising from the dead.  The students were very proud of their lily bouquets.

Sunset

Brittany and I have been going on a prayer walk to pray for the school, city, teachers and students of SPH.  As we were at the top of the hill praying for the city we got to witness this beautiful sunset.  It was truly amazing.  On the other side there was this:

It was a double rainbow.  

Character Day

At the end of book week we had a day got to dress up as our favorite book character.  I had a lot of princesses, fairies, and superheroes.  I was reduce, reuse, recycle Ms. Frizzle from the Magic School Bus series.
