Monday we had an Independence Day assembly where the students had memorized their lines to narrate the history of Honduras. They all sang their national anthem with their hands over their hearts, it made me smile as they sang the chorus as loudly as possible. For the entire month September they will work to memorize several verses of the anthem so I constantly hear "tu bandera, tu bandera..." For the next two weeks, we will be studying Honduras in the classroom as well. I have to brag on my assistant because she makes amazing bulletin boards!
Wednesday was a late start because we had an 1 1/2hr vertical team meeting, which means one person from each grade represents the subject area. Turns out I am on the science team which is great except this year there are brand new standard to which all curriculum must be aligned with. Also, Kindergarten doesn't have a written science curriculum, so that will need to happen and have it entered into Atlas which is the curriculum software that the school uses. 
On the home front, I finally have my hammock hung on the balcony!! All thanks to our neighbor who had to use his power tools and muscles to make a few holes in the cement wall. But now I can chill outside! Friday we just stayed in, but it was so loud because of a home soccer game. It sounded like a riot, but apparently Honduras was making scores against Mexico and won so it was a big deal. Saturday Kelsey and I went with a big group to go repelling with Jerry. The landscape was so beautiful! It was close to La Tigra but not in the National Park. We hiked for a bit then practiced repelling down a cliff. That was fun and relatively easy...going back up however was hard...I didn't make it all the way. Following that, we were supposed to repel down a waterfall, but rain from the previous day made the current too strong. We shall return! Better pictures will come later...
The big emergency today is that we are out of coffee!!!!!
