Busy at school

I've been rather busy at school lately. We are now in Week 3 (they're really big into counting the school weeks here). So far I've helped with a few different things. I worked with the 1st grade who really need a lot of work. Lots of them don't know how to write their names or the letters of the alphabet. I also sorted tons of books in the library. Now I'm working the combined 2nd and 3rd grade class on reading. I have discovered that some of the students cannot read at all- like they don't even know high frequency words like the, to, and. But at least it gives me a good idea of what to work on while I'm here. My next work is tomorrow I will be running a small workshop on teaching spelling. Then next week I will be giving some reading assessments to class 2 and 3 that all the peace corps vols in vanuatu have to do. Then only one more week and I head out to Vila and then New Zealand for a brief vacation with my parents. Then we'll all come back to Vanuatu together so I'm excited.

We had a bit of rain and wind due to a cyclone in nearby New Caledonia but now it's sunny again. Nothing else too new here.
