as promised! Pictures!! they have short explanations but i have kept my ramblings to a minimum i hope you enjoy!!!
our Beautiful Library... we have floor to ceiling shelving on three walls, and just enough space to display our creative work! These posters have song Lyrics from the band Grits, My Life be Like, (ooh ahh) and Good Charlotte, The River. The kids worked together in small groups to translate the lyrics from English to Creole, and decorate the posters. Its awesome to have a place for them and be able to display all their hard work!
The kids hard at work in English class! The Library makes for a perfect fun time classroom complete with blackboard, white board, and sun filled windows, and HUGE tables for fun group work projects!!
Duck, Alex and Jacques (well Jacques' arm!) hard at work on their page for our A walk in Narnia book! thats right folks! they are reading The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe all in ENGLISH! having classroom discussions about the Biblical principles of the story, mostly in English! and writing, and drawing pictures for our classroom book to show the link between the story and the Gospel, also ALL in English!
Computer Class!!! All the kids of hfc are learning how to type, learning basic computer skills, and playing some fun games! We were very generously given 6 new laptops which have made lessons for all the children possible!!!
The Jussaume family (Al, Joe and Pat)! with Jude and Ernso! The Jussaumes were almost half of the construction team who brought us the library and the new toilets downstairs. missing in this picture, but still always remembered and loved. My mom (Michealle) Shannon, Jean, Don and Hal.
fun water balloon games with team #2!
this was one of the funnest games i have ever played!!! the kids were in teams of 6 and given a beach towel and a water balloon, the teams needed to bounce the balloon up and down on their towel without letting it fall! the first team to drop their balloon lost, and the winners received some fun prizes!
John enjoying the new Playstation 2! FIFA is the favorite game!!!so there are our last three weeks in a nut shell!

Oh, a Jacques hand sighting. I'm so excited! :) It was so fun to get to know you and seeing the kids again was such a blast!! I think your nuts to have picked me to cut your hair but think it turned out incrediably cute with the instant ringlets! Our family LOVES the Narnia series. What a great choice. Did you see that the new Narnia movie is included in the DVD set. Will you watch that all together at some point? Great movie! I'm curious which ones the kids have watched so far.
Joyfully,
Angela
