Some Flavors

This week at school went quite smoothly. It was fun because we were studying weather. The weather here has been very nice in the 80s with occasional rain. So except for the walking to school in the rain, it's great.
      One day during lunch, my students spend their conversation discussing the length of Justin Bieber's hair in relation to his 'coolness'. A few days I had to be pretty tough on the children because I guess they decided that Kindergarten needed a little spice. We spent a lot of time practicing lining up and what it means to be quiet, so hopefully that will stick. As always, my entertaining little friend cracks me up with his stream of Spanish interrupted my "shoe please", which is code for "please tie my shoe". But when he makes me laugh, he stops...gives me this strange look and demands to know why I am laughing...which just make laugh harder.
      Tuesday, I went to the high school choir rehearsal. They are at the beginning, such as training their ears to match pitch and learning that there is more information on sheet music than merely the words. They are very enthusiastic! I've never worked with high school aged people before, so thie though be an experience. The teacher, Kendra, is very realistic with them and immensely patient.
      On Wednesday, Keiko, Stacey, Kelsey, and I went on an adventure to find Sabor Cubano. After being quite lost, we met up with the volunteers that I met last week and followed them there. The mission was to try Salsa lessons. They were so much fun, we will definitely be going back next week!
      Saturday up early and back to the market for some much needed fresh produce, flowers, and tasty pupusas. That afternoon, I headed out to Santa Lucia with Paule (an AST teacher, originally from Canada, currently on maternity leave), the baby, and Jessica B. We were invited to a pie making get-together where Bryce attempted to teach us lime meringue pie.

Playing Washers

      This morning Stacey and I went to Union Christian Church which was super nice and friendly. Also, the service was all in English, which is very important at this point.
