It has finally reached 60 degreesish in the evenings here in the DR!!! :) warm days and cool nights what a lovely combination.
I am super excited for the wonderful break from swealtering heat. Granted I still lose plenty of water out the old sweat glands during the day outside in the sun.
This week starts parent/teacher conferences....yikes! I've never done one of these before so thankfully I have a nice family first. I'm hoping that all of them go smoothly and that I can learn more about each of my students.
I have discovered first grade as it should be again...not the bad memories I had from last year but fun loving, cute first graders who love you because you carry them around or give them a high five. Getting swarmed by the first graders brings a huge smile to my face and I love it and them. I love the surprise hugs and the surprise kisses that find themselves on my cheeks when I stop to talk another teacher.

Prayer Request Box July-Early August 2009
School - The new incoming teachers as they adjust to leaving home, adjusting to a new culture, and teaching in a new environment.
Returning Teachers - That we will keep the passion that drew us back. And that our love/concern for the students will grow.
Administration
Students - Many of the students while attending a Christian school are not under the same teaching at home. For their eyes and ears to be opened to the Truth.

Why The Dominican Republic?
- Brooke
- Dominican Republic
- I am currently finishing out my first year teaching at Jarabacoa Christian School in the Dominican Republic. Why would I a Midwesterner move all the way to the Caribbean? The answer is simple; God called me here. After visiting Jarabacoa twice with Taylor University (I am a 2008 graduate) I decided to pursue a serious teaching job here. I ended up at Jarabacoa Christian School because of previous TU grads working there. So in August 2008 I set off on the biggest adventure of my life. I currently teach 3rd grade and love my students. God has called me to another year here at JCS and I am so excited! Next year (2009-2010)I will be teaching 2nd grade and couldn't be happier. Thanks for taking the time to stop by.

Even just dropping me a note is a great way to help...it makes me smile. :)
