PE in Roatan is super fun and super hot! The kids are obsessed with Soccer and have really started to enjoy volleyball. So far we have only punctured one soccer ball which I consider a victory. When I was here the first time, I went through about 10 in the first month. I have learned that "american" soft soccer balls last about as long as a balloon would. I have to buy the hard plastic ones from the local stores.
The kids are really excited to have actual PE class; before I arrived they didn't have any equipment and were just sitting around during their PE time. We have now completed a month of fitness testing and started a volleyball unit! After our first class of sit-ups and push ups, I had parents asking me what I had done to their children. They were going home and complaining about sore muscles.... We have a long way to go.
I am now in the process of developing a biblical, Sex Education curriculum for the school with the help of some local doctors and another teacher! Keep us in your prayers as we plan and prepare to implement this program.
Also, the students are dying to start soccer and volleyball teams. I have had some experience with this before and its not as easy as it sounds. I am hoping to have some teams together by Christmas.
