| Itchy heads … oh junk!
Last week, 3 students got sent home with head lice. Kindergarten was canceled Thursday and Friday
to get rid of those suckers. Like
always, everyone has itchy heads … thankfully, not all these itches come from
lice. I have been nervous about it, even
though I am not really around those kids that got it a whole lot. Today, the same 2 girls that had it were sent
home AGAIN! Ugh … AND I got to take the Kindergartners to recess, the ones who
are around those that have it again. The
whole time I was like, um, please don’t touch me … and trying not to touch my
face and hair. Gross, that is definitely
something I do not ever want to experience. The Kindergartners were crazy on the way to
and from the playground. Wow, I don’t
think I could handle them all day. I was
trying so hard to be in control and get them in a stinking line to cross the
street … I was so out of patience by the time I got back. My poor 1st graders, they were
probably wondering why Miss Kidd had ZERO patience today and was upset that
they weren’t listening. WE had a very
serious talk about this! Lol … hopefully tomorrow my LAST DAY OF TEACHING will
go better! Yes, tomorrow Is my last day
of teaching … from here on out (which is only till May 5th) I will
be observing and lending a hand here and there. It is quite exciting to see the end
approaching! I cannot wait to be done w/
all this crazy paperwork – it’s masses and masses. L.U. should find a way to reduce that if at
all possible.
On a happier note, spring has finally come to Korea. The cherry blossoms, green trees and flowers
are so pretty. I miss seeing nature here
in the “city” … I love spring time – beautiful colors and warmer weather. I can’t wait to see more green when I get back
to the States … it will be so nice! AND
I will have FRESH air and not highly polluted and infested with yellow dust. People were masks here in order to not breathe
in the gross air … fresh air will be so refreshing! : ) | | |
| I have news - BIG news!!
I have accepted a job in Lisbon, Portugal teaching 1st grade at an MK school (their website is: http://glcaportugal.abwe.org/Home.aspx)!! I am super excited - it's great seeing how the Lord works things out!! He is soo good. All this time I was worried about what the next step should be and He just brought this school to me!!
I will need your prayers though - there will be so many changes and new things taking place. I'm excited about learning about a new country, culture and language ... but it is also a bit scary! Another thing to be in prayer for is that I will be teaching something that I have not studied - so I will need wisdom in being a good teacher for first graders!! :) It should be loads of fun though. Also, I need to raise support, so that is a huge prayer request. I would really appreciate all your prayers and support for that!! I will keep you guys updated!!
Have a blessed weekend!

| soo...i'm NOT excited about the headlice going around @ school - yuck!! sure hope it stays away ... oh dear ...

| So, it's been forever since I have written ... soo sorry!! Things have been rather busy. Student teaching has been going well. I really feel like I am getting the hang of teaching. It's so much fun. I'm getting really excited about going out and getting my own job! This brings me to my next subject - I need your prayers for wisdom for future decisions. I have found some schools overseas that I am really interested in teaching at. I would have to raise support and I am still needing to figure out where the Lord wants me to go. I know HE will bring it all together when the timing is right and He will provide for everything ... it's just a matter of being patient! It's so amazing to see how He provides and makes things clear!! I love that! My time in Korea is running away .... I have less than three weeks left. It is crazy how fast this semester has gone! It's going to be so sad going away ... I will miss all my new friends and students! At the same time, I'm getting really excited about seeing my family and college friends - my feelings are bitter sweet ... God has blessed me so much while I have been here and I know He will continue to do that! He is soo good to us! Here is a pictures of my students and new friends in Korea ... how I will miss them ...
