We are very close to being done with our student reading level assessments. I’m excited to finally get all the results so we can actually start doing something to help. Unfortunately, tomorrow is yet another holiday (Constitution Day) so there is no school. Never thought I would say that!
Wednesday we will finish the assessments and I will post the combined results from all the schools. In the mean time, I just wanted to share this picture that screams “Pohnpei.” Mr. B and I stopped by this roadside store to pick up some water. There are these tiny roadside stores everywhere. The picture below is by no means out of the ordinary.
It’s funny to think that five weeks ago I would be shocked to see a bunch of kids running around naked or men walking down the street with machetes, and now it’s normal. There are many other things that fall in this category. Now, I’m used to driving on the other side of the road to avoid potholes, seeing two dogs do the dirty deed in the middle of the road is no big deal, and wearing zoris (i.e. flip flops) to formal meetings is the norm. It will certainly take time to adjust back to America!
Stay tuned for the reading level results!
