HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! Hope you’re still able to enjoy today even with your ankle. :(
It’s like 70 degrees today! The sun is out, the wind is almost nonexistent and there’s not a cloud in the sky. It’s a gorgeous day to be outdoors; I may go read in the park…
School today seemed to go by very quickly! First hour I was in 2B. I reviewed some clothes vocab with them (to practice pronunciation mostly, since they’ve had this vocab for several weeks). Later there was a picture of four different people in their book and I described what each person was wearing and they had to guess which person it was.
As per my schedule change, in place to 6B, I went to 3B…and sat there. I talked with Lourdes a little bit about some Easter activities, but that was it.
In five-years A we listened to a song to practice the clothing vocab they’ve learned. We mimed putting on shoes, trousers and a hat. It seems like each week we lose more and more class time because they’re always hungry and restless. Today we only had class for about half an hour, instead of 50 minutes because they were complaining so much.
With the four-year-olds, Sandra is putting booklets together of all of their worksheets from the beginning of the year, and so they colored a cover page for that. It was a picture of the main character from their English materials, Ellie the Elephant.
I don’t have a lesson today, because with Pilar gone Juan An said he didn’t have anything to study (with me) and apparently Carlos doesn’t either. I was going to go over to Arturo and Teo’s later to do laundry, but when I got home, I got a big surprise! Will told me they’re coming to give us our new door, in about an hour, at 4:30!!! I’m super excited—it’s almost been a month since it broke for good. Also, at seven o’clock I’m meeting up with a teacher who taught English at Gerardo last year and we’re going to have a conversational hour—half in English and half in Spanish…it’ll be good practice for both of us!
Xoxo,
Court
