Wow, made it through a long week! Everyday felt like pulling teeth as we attempted to fit instructional time between Christmas rehearsals. Wednesday was school, faculty meeting, spanish tutor, and salsa class. It was our last class for Level 1! It was fun as we celebrated a classmate's birthday and said our "goodbyes for now".
The day of the Christmas concert was very long! It was only a half day of school, but then we had a math seminar and ATLAS/TESC work to do. The kids came back to school at 5pm; it was a mixture of stress and excitement as Ms. Cuty and I attempted to corral the kids on the bus with their santa hats. We got off at the high school gym and we tried to stay in two straight lines as all the Kindergartners walked across the stage. However, the kids performed well and no body fell off the stage! I remembered to turn all the pages for the high school accompanist and the faculty choir hit most of the notes = success!

Also completely exhausted, we all made it through Friday. Then it was the Christmas dinner for the preschool department. It was fun to sit and chat with some ladies from work that I don't often see. For my secret santa, I had requested "something I cannot leave Honduras without". Apparently the answer is "a man" as I unwrapped my present and Mr. Fernando (the Spanish assistant) got down on one knee to offer me a plastic ring (in exchange for a green card of course!).
On Saturday, a group of us girl teachers headed out to Valle to relax and finish some Christmas shopping. It rained the whole time and wasn't exactly relaxing...oh well.
