The roads are becoming impassable. In this picture I took yesterday morning you can see a small stream. One day ago, it wasn’t there. It seems like the flash rains and rivers/floods accompanying them are no longer flashes. We’ve reached rainy season and with it muddy season. Yesterday, the route was majorly altered.
At school I taught some English lessons, graded the English homework they had from over the weekend and finally got started with the Riveting Results program. Prior to yesterday, every RR session was a mess; us teachers never had a plan, the computers weren’t set up correctly, and the kids hadn’t settled into the idea of using devices for school work. Finally, yesterday, we started on assignments and got some work done with the kids! However, there are still some hurdles we’re going to have to manage, but progress is progress and now we just have to keep the pace up.
After RR, it was going home time (for the kids, that is). The afternoon route went smoothly; the roads had dried out enough to where we could drive most of them. The only hiccup was when our bus battery needed a good ol’ fashioned push start and someone decided to make it an exercise by keeping the kiddos inside the bus.
The school is putting down gravel so as to keep the grounds from being muddy pools of water. Maybe today I’ll help in spreading it out.
