“All my clothes fit in one laundry load” + No Dryer = being damp all day.

I’ve learned a lot today. Why it’s good not to wash all your clothes at once. Box turtles are very fast when you take them for an airing in the park. How to make cocoa without a mug. And that Megalodon was such a huge shark in the Miocene Epoch that it ate whales.
This week I’ve learned about how to lead a discussion on books with first-third graders, the difference between distributive and group division, and when you should teach each. I’ve learned how to teach some of the properties of light, and how to use Venn diagrams to teach the properties of a square. All stuff that’s very useful to me, and not good blog post material.
My days start with re-heated coffee in a snapple bottle (the cafeteria opens at 8:00), and prayer. Then showering, figuring out which manuals/albums/binders I’ll need that morning, and lugging them to breakfast, and then to the Environment for classes. Class looks like the instructor sitting on the floor at a low table, demonstrating how to use a material, and giving tips on how and when to teach it. All the students sit around at tables drawing little pictures and taking notes in their instruction manuals.
Lunch is 12-1, followed by classes until 5. I always have the same thing, and it never fails to delight me. Dinner is the same as lunch, except that I buy coffee for the next day. 
In the evenings I’ve been writing a couple simple papers, practicing in the environment, eating cherries off the tree nearby (today I swallowed a pit…) praying, and last night I ran to Glenn Island. I love that place.
Tomorrow I take a 70 minute train ride to Fairfield, CT to go to an Anglican Mission in America church. The youth pastor and his wife are picking me up at the train station. I’m hoping I like it.
Happy Lord’s Day everybody!
