This afternoon it’s 66 and partly cloudy; it’s a bit breezy but not too bad! I thought I was gonna rain earlier because it got super overcast and kinda dark, but it didn’t…yay!

This morning in 1A I reviewed a boatload of flashcards with them and after that we did a worksheet about landscapes, like fields, forests and the like. We did the worksheet as a class because it was a bit difficult for them to do alone. They were given a picture and had to label things like road, snow, mountain, village, and so on. Then they had to check which activities you could do in/on a mountain: hike, ski, surf and climb. One kid actually said you could mountain surf…but this is also the kid who ALWAYS raises his hand and then doesn’t know the answer. It’s not that he gets it wrong but rather he just sits there silently and stares back at you…every time! Like, why do you raise your hand??

We talked more about the US with Luis Miguel’s classes. We were in the video room and watched this video entitled “The United States: A Basic Introduction for Kids”. It’s a pretty long video (like almost ten minutes) and I kept stopping it to make sure they understood and to ask questions, so we actually only got like halfway through it in both classes. So…next week we shall continue.

We went to the infantil video room with five-years B and watched a bit of Wallace and Gromit…not too much though because of course we had to leave time to breakfast.

While 4B worked on some translations I sat with Raúl and tried to get him to work on this math/color-by-numbers worksheet. Key word = try. He was up and around and interrupting and bothering…basically doing everything except that worksheet. He refused to answer me when I asked him questions and was coloring random things with an orange highlighter…ok, whatever.

No class this afternoon! Now I’m gonna watch The Biggest Loser finale, it was on last night and I’ve waited two weeks to see it!

Xoxo,
