Joyce and I combined our classes today, hers ESL and mine remedial English, for a conversational breakfast. 
She made pancakes, rice, and cut up a watermelon and I brought in cookies and eggs and spam. Lisa, our librarian, brought in some drinks (Joyce did, too) and we all got to play games that required us to talk to one another about interesting things about ourselves.
Before we started playing, Lisa read two children's books out loud to promote reading to one another as a good way to practice reading and language skills.
It was really cool to hang with our classes this morning while working on something that they struggle with. Please pray for encouragement with our students so that they won't be afraid to speak up and communicate with us. They are a lot better in this than they think =)
