Another beautiful day—69 degrees, a little cloudy with a slight wind. It’s supposed to hit 82 by Friday!

Today was an easy day. I went to infantil first and helped them review some of their words in English. We sang the Days of the Week song and learned about some fruits and vegetables. In Julia’s class I asked them what their favorite fruits were and this one little kid was like “COOKIES!”. And thus starts another generation who prefers sweets to fruit…

In 5A we played “Guess Who”, or rather they spent the time preparing to play the game: cutting out and coloring the pictures. That took almost the whole time and I was able to do an example with them at the end and that I all there was really time for. Hopefully next time we can play.

With 1B I reviewed the parts of the body by playing “Simon Says” with the class. They’re at the age in which they take it really hard if they get out and so they try to lie and said they didn’t actually make a mistake (i.e. do something without Simon saying so). Not to worry though, their classmates are little tattlers and keep them in check pretty well!

I tried to read this story with five-years A, but they were rowdy and it didn’t work out too well. Espe then put on the CD of the story because it had music and sound effects; they listened to that a little better, but they were still up and down and everywhere.

Raquel brought 6A down to the video room and so we talked about Easter—as with 6C yesterday and 6B on Thursday. We had a little more time than with 6C, so they were able to do more of the worksheet. They didn’t get it all the way finished, but Raquel said they could do it for homework.

I’m meeting Pilar Loro, my newest English student, at the plaza at six. I think then we’re going to her house to, I guess, iron out the details of our meetings. When I talked with her dad last week (and when Arturo and I went to see Romeo and Juliet) he said she either studied or spent some time in Minnesota, so I’m interested to hear about her experiences there!

Xoxo,
