In the last week of July, Jacki and Karen, two teachers and friends from Liberty arrived to Urunga! They came to school with me on Monday and Tuesday and were put right to work with reading and math groups! It was glorious to have two certified teachers right there in the room to do everything!!
So they burned out real quickly on that, and took off for sight seeing in the area! Pat took them to the rain forest and the beaches nearby. The Urunga and Macksville ladies came "for a wine" one night, and we opened a champagne bottle for Maureen! We scoped out the karaoke bar in Coffs and discovered Aussie KJ hilarity! Pat loved his version of Snoopy and the Red Baron. We loved how he handed singers props for their song, or just cut off the music if he felt it "wasn't for them."
It was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful to see the girls from home! I hadn't let myself get homesick, but I think this did it! I'm so lucky to work with such amazing women. And more were still coming!
