I made it!!!

Hello!

I made it to Africa safely. Today was my first day teaching, and it was fun. The school system is much different than in America. I have 2 classes that I am teaching the science to. Today, was an interesting day. I showed up and didn't know exactly what I was going to be teaching until I got into the classroom. Because I was not able to be totally prepared the lessons were not as good as I think they could have been. Tomorrow will be much better because I have had plenty of time to prepare for the lessons. I will be teaching about the Periodic Table of Elements to one class and Simple Circuits to the other.

The family that I have been placed with are very nice. They cook me good food every day. I am eating traditional African meals, it is much different than in America. I will update more another day when I have more time. Feel free to text to me and let me know you are thinking about me, I would appreciate hearing from home!
