A little romance...

I'm sure that I just got a lot of you curious from that title! haha! No...no...not me...my little first graders. Today I came into class and one of my first graders said, "Miss Marshall, can I tell you a secret?" She whispered in my air, "I am in love with James, and he guessed it!" They sit by each other, so when I looked over he smiled and nodded his head yes. She then told me that James was able to guess all her secrets and that was one of them. They are so funny! Today I laughed a lot! We had P.E. today, so the kids played kickball. I went out to observe, and I am so glad that I did! They were hilarious. About three kids knew how to play, and the rest were just running wild! Some sat down on the bases, some ran the opposite way, some just stood there. It was a fun time. The rest of the day went by quickly. I got to work with an Indian boy who is probably the most intelligent and cutest boy his age I have ever seen. He read me this story perfectly in his cute little accent. I was amazed, so I asked him how old he was and he said five. I was blown away! At the end of the day we played Duck Duck Goose which is classic. The kids LOVED this. I got a few pictures, but I was not able to capture how precious this was unfortunately. It ended with two kids falling down and crying.

After school we came back for lunch which was mashed potatoes, beef, rolls, and fruit salad. Hands down...best meal yet! We experienced German hamburgers and chips for dinner. We were supposed to have french fries...or should I say Belgium Fries?...but the water randomly was off for a few hours. That's Burkina for you! Thankfully, the water is back on so that I can shower. You cannot go a day here without showering...well, you would not want to! I went back to the school for a few hours with Sheila, and we got things prepared for tomorrow. We were able to have a great conversation over a cold coke and sprite.

Well, it is a little after 9pm but between the heat and early mornings, I am wiped out!
