Final preparations

Only a week and a half left and I head out to Honduras for my second year of teaching.
Here's what I have been told about the coming year:
I'm teaching third grade math and English again. There are two sections of Third graders, just as there were last year. This time, the sections are bigger, last year there were 22 students in each group. They are said to be a high energy bunch of kids, but a lot of fun. We'll see what that means...
I am also going to be teaching a history class four times per week in high school - 9th grade, I believe. That's what I'm the most nervous about, as it's a totally new experience for me.
Some new things: the third grade may be in different classrooms. At this point I'm not sure. Two of the English teachers from Southwest school left last year, and I'm not sure if they've found replacements. The political situation in Honduras is a little shaky, although it's a miracle that it hasn't gotten worse than it is.
Please say a quick prayer for myself, my kids, and the situations of SouthWest School and Honduras before leaving this site :). Thank you!

These are the two classes of students you will be hearing about all year long ;)
