Ecuador... I am finally here!!

I know that it has been a long time since my last update. Sorry for the delay. For a while I did not have access to reliable internet and then school started so....

Well, here we are after 3 1/2 years of raising support and language school, I am finally here in Ecuador. It has been a big transition but I am loving it here.

In the last month I have:

1. Finished Language School
2. Moved Continents
3. Furnished a house
4. Moved into my house
5. Learned to use a gas stove- I still don't know how to work the oven (I don't know how to light it with a match)
6. Setup my classroom
7. Started School
8. Gotten a parasite
and much much more!

Yes, that's right. On the first day of school, I woke up with a fever. I got a parasite. (Very common here in Shell. I just had to get some medicine for it from the hospital. However, I felt very crummy for a few days )

However, I love my little class. The kids are wonderful. They are so excited about school and even begging for homework (I have 1st and 2nd graders- they will change their opinion soon)

Below I added some pictures of my classroom and my house. Enjoy!
The front of my house.

The Kitchen and the oven I don't know how to operate

The patio, backyard and grill

The passion fruit plant on my back porch

The pineapple that is growing outside my bedroom window


The 1st and 2nd grade classroom at the Nate Saint Memorial School

Math Calendar Board

Classroom Computer and Cubbie Holes

Word Wall and all of the animals painted on the walls. It's a jungle in there!
