I have not blogged in FOREVER. So hopefully this is the start of a string of blogs updating everybody on what has happened this past month! So first I'll lead off with an update about our Breaking Chains kids and their new adventure at my school! All of the kids are loving their new environment and loving the chance to spend time with other kids their age and just be normal kids!
Each child has their own obstacles to overcame and I have enjoyed seeing many of them begin to overcome these obstacles.
First off we can talk about Escarleth! Escarleth is the most precious little girl in the world and always seems to have a huge smile on her face! She loves her new school and seems to have no trouble making new friends because I always see her running around with the other girls in her class! She struggles to catch up to the level she should be at especially in math, but everyday I see improvement in her studies. I expect that she will just keep improving because of how much she loves her teachers and as her teachers, Michael, and I learn more about how to help her on her educational journey!
Next up we have Jonatan. O Jonatan he is certainly a handful but he has the perfect teacher for the job of handling him. Jonatan loves his teacher Ms. Patty and she is doing a great job working with his extreme hyperactivity. Jonatan is a born people pleaser and his teacher is glad to utilize that as he has become a great classroom helper! He has his days just like every kindergardener has but overall his attitude at home and at school have become much better of the past month. The most amazing thing with Jonatan is how intelligent he is for having never been in an educational enviroment before. Out of all the kids I would have to say his English is the best because he loves to repeat anything and everything that we say in English around him. He also is really fantastic at doing homework, and has even begun doing it by himself which is quite amazing! I know Jonatan has great things ahead of him and I am loving watching him grow and learn in his new environment.
Now our other first grader, Arol. When school began I was most worried about how Arol would handle his new school. Arol had a lot of trouble at his last school and had begun to shut down altogether. But now that he is at Interamerican School he is thriving! He absolutely loves his new school. His behavior at school has been nothing short of perfect and everyday after school he does very good with his homework. I am so happy for Arol, and I love seeing him act the part of the perfect student while at school, it is amazing to watch
Finally we have our sweet little Dayana. Dayana is having a lot of trouble adjusting to a structured environment. Her whole life has been nothing but chaos, and because that is all she knows that is what she brings to school with her. I believe that with time and patience she will succeed but now more than anything we need prayers for her to begin to adjust, and prayers that the other teachers and I can find the best way to help Dayana adjust and begin to learn in her new environment.
Thanks to everyone who is supporting our kids as they begin their new journey, please keep all our kids, especially little Dayana, in your prayers as they learn to adjust to their new environment.
