We currently have 26 students between the ages of 5 and 15. We have broken them into 3 classes based on their ages and abilities. I am currently teaching English to the two older classes. I have also started pulling out kids to work with one-on-on for reading and math who are either ahead or behind. I had the privilege of helping a little boy named Vavega learn to read...in Samoan...this week. Or at least 3 and 4 letter words. He is so excited and hasn't stopped smiling. I have now taught two little boys in two different countries how to read in languages that I don't really speak. This is helping me drastically in my language acquisition. Still adjusting to having more of an administrative role and less teaching. Not a huge fan, but it is good and what is needed and what I can do for now. Working a lot with supporting the other teachers and teaching them good strategies and helping them plan their lessons.

More to come soon....
