This morning there were chocolate moon pies instead of strawberry ones, so I figured I'd have one (I don't care for strawberry flavor in general, so I haven't had a moon pie yet). Well, I think my stomach has shrunk quite a bit since being here because I didn't feel so well after having the granola cereal and a moon pie...I felt STUFFED. I helped with cleaning the kitchen and then walked the girls to school.
Today Leslie shadowed me at school through my classes. She will be here for the next 10 months, so will be taking over where I leave off in the reading classes. I did hand the "en necesidad" folders over to her right away since I wasn't able to do anything with those classes over the past 3 weeks. I counted up how many classes I was responsible for (without the en necesidad ones) and there were 20 classes! It sounds like Leslie will begin the en necesidad classes tomorrow since I'll still take the ones I'm doing for this week yet and make sure they're all prepared well for her. This way, she can spend all of her time getting the one class I wasn't able to prepare for ready to go!

I walked my little girls back to their dining hall for lunch and when I walked them back to school, I tracked down Luis David to give him a chili sucker since I hadn't yet gotten one to him. This afternoon I headed home for about an hour just to have a break for a little bit. When I got back to the little girls house for supper, I met a new volunteer Rebecca. She's mostly blind, so carries around her stick. She seems SO nice & caring though, and is planning on being here for 3 months. She had supper with Samantha and I at the little girls' house since Katja will be assigning her to a house tomorrow. Alina spent the afternoon on the slip 'n slide with the medium girls (an event put on by the California group) before coming to the little girls' house for supper. After supper, it was shower time once again and then getting ready for bed.
