My school actually bought me a gray suit for these two weeks so that I could classily participate. Its actually my first non hand me down second hand suit. Its nothing fancy but looks nice and fits me real well because it was made for me.
Yesterday, the school had a parade in downtown Antofagasta. They actually closed down the streets by the citys main plaza for the school parade. There was speeches, singing, marching and formal dances including the cueca (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cueca) the national dance of Chile that is said to imitate a rooster and hen. (Pictures will be posted soon)
Today, I arrived at my classroom and found that all the desks in my classroom were unexpectedly being used for the birthday cake presentation to be held at noon today. So I had to quick come up with an activity for the students that didn't require them to use their desks (we played a game). They warned us we would need to be flexible
I am becoming curious as to how these kids learn anything with the amount of interruptions (per your posts) that seem to happen on a regular basis.
ReplyDeleteYou could probably make a strong critique along those lines but I'm still figuring out how everything works. And besides Easter and School anniversary are big events.
ReplyDeleteToday is culture day ... I'm listening to students rock out
Right now they are playing sweet child of mine
