HAPPY SUMMER TO THE GRADE 5's AT HAZELGROVE

We have settled into daily routines here at Grace. Get up early in the morning (6am ish) and go for a run up the driveway (about 4km). Come back and "try" to shower if there is hot water. Eat breakfast and go to school for the day. After school we hang out with the kids and often take them for walks in the neighbouring villages. I am reading to a small group, playing games sometimes, and am starting an exercise group for the older kids tomorrow night. The children go into the cafeteria for supper at 5pm and we have our dinner then. We hang out with kids for another hour after supper and then they are called into their dorm rooms. We then relax, play cards, watch a movie on my computer, and go to bed nice and early. Tonight I had my final Skype session with my Grade 5 students at home. We got to say goodbye and I wished them all a fantastic summer. They had some questions for Bill, Clement and Naomi and it was so cool to see the kids having conversations with each other. I am looking forward to keeping the connection going when I return to Canada. But I best not get ahead of myself……7 1/2 weeks to go here in this beautiful country.
