Lets see..
Monday at school they had a break in the morning where the older kids did some sort of fair where they made healthy treats for the younger kids and pretty much tried to promote good health. It was a nice break from the school day, not to mention really delicious!
Thursday a few of the kids from the school and I went to Licanten which is a town about an hour away from here. They have experienced an intense amount of rain this year and had major problems with flooding!! The school was about knee deep in water for a while. One of my friends is working there so it was great to see her! We brought the younger kids balloons, candy, etc. We played games and pretty much just tried to lift their spirits! It was a total blast and I was even able to dress up like a clown, now I’d say that is a pretty sweet deal! The bus there and back was also great experience with the kids from my school because we were able to talk and sing lots of songs. They found out I like Juanes, the singer, and so most of the ride was filled with his sweet tunes. I thought it was a ncie gesture since most kids under 18 would not name Juanes as one of their favorite singers! Lol
Today was the last day of school before their two week break from school. I feel a little silly because I came to school in the morning totally forgetting it was Friday and that I never start classes on Friday’s until third period lol. But that’s ok because I was able to help in Juan Carlos’s class instead which was nice because there are really good kids in that class. that is a really good course. However, you could totally tell that it was the countdown until break because all the kids were getting really antsy, as was I :) After third period I went to my sisters classroom because I’m closest to that class and we had an end of the semester party. There was food and games and it was pretty sweet. We got out at 12 today which was a definite plus! One of the girls from the Junior class is having a get together tonight and they all invited me which I thought was a really nice gesture. I’m not sure I’ll go but maybe at least for a little while. It so hard to believe I only have one month left!! I better make the most of it! This next week I have to work at the English winter camp during the day from 9 until 6pm so that will take up most of my time. It should be a really good experience actually and since my sister will be attending that should make it even more fun. I think we are going bowling the first day, wish me luck! :) For the second week of vacation we are planning to do some sort trip to the beach and to the mountains. I’m so excited to explore more of the country!
PS I have taught a song in a few of my classes and the students really seem to get into it. I brought candy one day for a reward and they go so excited! Today one of the boys brought me the lyrics written out to his favorite Lincoln park song that said thanks for the candy at the bottom. I thought that was so sweet and lets you know a little about how blessed I am with the group of kids I am able to teach :)
