So this week, in case you didn't know this is the week of the children. If you thought that we had already a week of the children you would be wrong, in May there was a day for the children, but in October kids get a whole week. In keeping with on the tradition of finding reasons for students to miss class, there will be activities for the children Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. The students will also be some classes on Friday but that isn't because they are children but rather to celebrate the anniversary of school's priests death. Last Friday, was the day of the teachers. However, this was celebrated not by missing class (because classes honor teachers) but by a late night dinner party where the teachers could let loose. Last week was also when my school celebrated Spanish by hosting all kinds of language activities including Spanish spelling bee and a Spanish debate. Students were also able to miss classes for those.
In all seriousness the dinner was nice … it was at a (the) fancy buffet place in the South of city and it was packed to the gills with teachers. It was also nice that the principal paid for us, while at other schools, the teachers had to pay part.
Had a very successful class today. As homework my students had to bring in the lyrics to song in to either read or sing. One of my students forgot his homework but was able to sing backstreet boys from memory and managed to get the whole class to sing along.
