The next three pic are the house we were staying in. It was a big house with 4 bedrooms etc. It was also a mile away from the school which was an inconvenience. Also there was another couple coming that had a bigger family so we moved on Thursday to our present location which is about a 5 minute walk to the school.
We have been spending a lot of time at the school preparing classrooms and material for Monday when we start school. Pictured below is Debie's Kinder room. It needed a lot of work and it is just about ready to go. Debie teaches a half day Kinder with 1o students. Some our MK and some Bolivians. She has been a real trooper and has done a great job in preparation for the school year. Now she needs to study her curriculum.
As for Tim his teaching schedule is 9th grade Ancient World History, 9-10th Computers, 12 grade Business Math, and 7-10 girls PE. What a schedule. They haven't said anything about coaching yet but I will probably be coaching some level of Volleyball. I don't have one room that I am in so I really don't have any roots. I will not know how many students I will have in each classroom until Monday. One thing about PE is that I am team teaching with Andrew Bloomfied a CA boy who is in his 20's. Last year he taught in Korea. He is a great guy who is a lot of fun. I will post of picture of him later since I don't have one at the pesent time.
Debie is working very hard trying to get our present apartment up and running. This one has 1 bedroom, 1 bath, a kitchen and living room. A lot smaller. It also wasn't in as good condition as the other. I did go out today and purchased a microwave for the apartment. It was about $70. More expensive in Bolivia. But for the most part the food is a lot cheaper in price here.
We are doing good. Going to an English speaking church tommorrow and then back to school for final preparation for Monday.
