4,203 - times Jon has said "I miss Daddy"
5 - days until Mom leaves
2 - snakes we killed around the house (they were small)
70 - average temperature when we show up to school at 7am.
20 - average number of students wearing ski jackets at 7am.
5 - average number of students who hang out in my office during breaks and lunch period.
125 - papers I've graded
11 - hours spent in meetings
20 - price in dollars of what we spent to feed all the youth a full rice and stew meal.
7 - students suspended for cheating on their district exams.
2 - students disciplined for cheating on their subject finals.
30 - students in our church sunday
