I remember back in training when we had to do a stregth finders test. One of my top 5 was adaptability. I remember Stacy saying, "oh, that's good for where you are going!" Was she ever right! Not that I am not still challenged by it at times, but that adaptability God has given me has been a blessing. There is the whole time thing, if something starts at 11, it is perfectly normal to show up at 12 or later. Another example is, that when it gets to be winter here our school schedule gets pushed back by 20 min. because it is so cold in the morning. One day at our morning meeting they were talking about this and were like, oh, we'll start that tomorrow...haha...can you imagine doing that in the states?! People would be in an uproar, but here it's perfectly normal. But this week has definitely been a week of flexibility. Yesterday (Friday) we had a parents' day program. On Wed. I ended up only having 2 out of my 4 classes, because they were practicing. Thurs. 2 out of my 5, and Friday I ended up having no classes at all (but this was kind of fun, because I got to hang out with my classes and help them get ready). Wed. after school, we stayed late to make flowers for decorations, and Thurs. until 7 decorating. And it was all pretty much a last minute decision. So, praise God that that kind of thing doesn't really bother me too much! In a way it is kind of nice to not be ruled by time.
The program turned out really good, they really went all out with dances and outfits. I added a picture of some of my second graders. They did a traditional dance with traditional outfits. Too cute!
