Some people wouldn't think that it would be that hard to get 36 little first graders to stand still and sing a song. If you are one of those people, were you ever a kid? Do you remember how hard it was to stand still for longer then 30 seconds and not swing about or make faces at the people in the crowd? After two months of practicing, this was the final outcome of "We Three Kings."
Christmas Parties are also fun. Small children wired on sugar running about the classroom, excited about food, excited about gifts, just excited in general.Then came Christmas with the SMs, half of the SMs left for other islands in Micronesia, Hawaii or home. Those of us that were left, tried to have an enjoyable Christmas, one that was liek what we would have in the states. YOU must decorate, make sugar cookies and have fun with friends. We were successful in all these areas.
Christmas Eve in our apartment. Jay (currently hanging christmas balls from the ceiling) and Mitch (Helping Marla bake cookies) were visiting from the island of Kosrae.
Waterfall jumping was the thing to do on Saturday afternoons...sorry that the video is sideways. We took the visitors to Twin Falls, Mr. B sat up on top of the falls and helped those of us who climbed up the slippery rock face. I really don't know how he is so calm about all the stupid stuff that SMs do...he is quite amazing.
SKYPE, the friend and enemy of the SMs in Pohnpei. Sometimes the internet worked and sometimes it didn't...This is how I talked to my parents while I was in Pohnpei, it is also how they were able to interact with me as I opened my Christmas Stocking. :)
And this has been me, thinking about Pohnpei..."sigh" I can't wait to go back.
