Happy New Year! Of school!


Today was the first day of school for this school year for everyone but Allen.  Even Amy went since she just started teaching English at the Christian school at the church we attended before.  Most of the kids don't know any English at all.  Besides English, she has the opportunity to teach about life, the Christian walk, and geopolitical current events.  One question they asked was, ,"Are there any other countries that speak English besides the US and InternetLand?," (okay I'm paraphrasing a bit)  One student told Mia that she likes how Amy teaches.  She doesn't just write things on the board to copy, but she makes them talk and even sing, which they thought was hilarious.  



I did take a picture of Amy's first day of school, but her eyes were closed, so I've included one from a her first first day of school.
