My Story...

Hello! Thanks for visiting my blog. I will be spending the next two years in the Dominican Republic and am excited to use this space to share news with you. God has placed a calling on my heart to venture out and teach in the mountains of the Dominican Republic at Doulos Discovery School. I will also be working with an outreach ministry, called Young Life. Please take some time to check out the links for both of these organizations. Thank you so much for partnering with me on this adventure!

My Last Expedition Night

Well, last night was my last Expedition Night at Doulos.  It was great.  I watched the 3rd and 4th graders proudly display and present all that they had learned.  Below are pictures and videos from the night.

Third grade studied Ancient Egypt.  Each student became an expert on a person's profession during that time and culture (scribe, vizier, pharaoh, slave, artisan...).  They presented themselves and their projects during a live museum after singing this song... 
(the video is from their dress rehearsal)

Fourth grade studied different countries in South America and held a cultural fair in their classroom last night.  Each student became an expert on one country in South America.  It was fun to visit their different booths filled with games, food, dress, and other customs displayed.  They also compared the culture they studied to that of the Dominican Republic.  Below is a video of the Dominican Republic booth when two parents couldn't help but jump in!
