conafe came again today. it was really good to have them here...they are really holding chuy accountable for what he has (or hasn't) been doing. everytime they come i figure out more things that we were supposed to be doing that we haven't...i feel like i'm back in the states again and can't keep up with the curriculum hahaha
1st grade is now going to be from 8:30 to 2 with a break for lunch, and preschool from 2 to 4. it was supposed to be like this from day 1.
it's frustrating to figure out all these things that we were supposed to be happening 3 months ago. at the same time, i'm finding comfort in knowing that these kids have been getting an education in some way, shape, or form, since school started. 10 of our 13 students have never and will probably never go to school, so even the fact that they're in a classroom environment, learning something, is great.
i'm learning so much personally and growing a ton. a couple months ago, this would have destroyed me. knowing that there were expectations and standards that i wasn't fulfilling, that i was unknowingly letting people down, would have been too much to handle. but now, instead of dwelling on what we haven't been doing, i'm taking a deep breath, thanking God for the good things that have happened so far, and asking for strength in the days to come. as they say here - siguimos adelante. continue ahead!
