After a busy, sometimes stressful, but definitely exciting and blessed week, I am nearly prepared to greet students on Monday morning! My schedule, like that of all other CAG teachers, is jam-packed with classes and activities. This year I will continue to coordinate the elementary Reading Program, which includes supervising two staff members; teach the Middle School-level English as a Foreign Language, and co-sponsor the Junior Class. A new undertaking that I am so, so, so excited about is starting a Middle School-level Destination ImagiNation class/team! If you don't know this fabulous program, check this out to learn more:

My two big personal goals center around content reading and technology this year. I've made commitments to address these areas both in my classes and by helping others. The realm of technology is way outside of my comfort zone, but is something I am feeling called to address. I've committed my EFL class to spend one class period each week learning online and have started my very own website (allalvarez.webnode.com) which I will need to keep updated daily for the benefit of students, parents, and other teachers. These areas are a prayer focus for me, as I delve into new territory. The verse we've been praying with this week is from John 11:3 - "Lord, the one you love is..."... and in my case: nervous, worried, excited, and overwhelmed. I hope you will pray with me that my endeavors will be of benefit to others in the pursuit of educating God's children.
More to come once classes get underway...
