I am back on!!! I am sorry for not writing for so long!! I got caught up in school and haven't known where to start in writing to you all! I am now a little more than a quarter into the school year!
There have been some rough patches, both with my adjusting, and with the kids adjusting to me, although I think we have finally achieved some balance here! I love the kids, I think that they are great, although I don't think they're great, necessarily, due to behavior. This seems to still be a work in progress! They just won't be quiet!!
The kids are from all over Latin America and the States, a few from Asia. They all have so much personality!! The sixth grade is a smaller class, they all seem to get along well and are respectful. The 7th grade seems to be in the process of learning to respect, they have the most nationals in the class, and are rowdy! And the 8th grade is intelligent, SOCIAL, and creative!
Today we just finished up with an Independence day fair for Panama. This is the day of Independence from Columbia. It started with tipico celebrations, the national anthem, and then a bunch of dancing that the spanish class put together. Following we had a family fun fair. I had the 8th graders who put together two booths. One was called "go fish" 1 ticket to catch fish with your hands and the second booth was called the "Mystery Booth" otherwise known as the prank booth. 3 tickets to buy a prank (a pie or water gun) for someone. We had to bring them to the booth though!
It was a fun day I would say! I am sure I have so much more to write, but I think i am going to stop with this one for now!
Love you all!
