| Teaching the Alphabet |
This week was a short week at the school and a good time for me to catch up on school work. We had Monday and Tuesday off because of Day of the Dead. I spent most of the day, on Monday and Tuesday working on school work and getting caught up. I’m glad to be caught up, and now I have a bit of a break from school because I am on time with all of my assignments and have time to rest a little bit more. I already really feel like I need a break, not so much from teaching as from my own school work. I feel like I’m always working.
The week was also a little bit different because the time changed in Nava to an hour earlier, but not in Piedras. This meant that the teachers left Piedras an hour later than usual, and left to return an hour earlier. This made for a shorter day and some needed rest. Other than that the week was pretty normal. I got to carve pumpkins on Monday with Ramiro, Tex, and Marissa and we started new material for the next two months at school. I’m still very challenged to help the kids learn the best with all of the work that I am responsible for, but I think we are making a difference just being there and I want to keep doing my best. The biggest challenge is English, how do I teach the students so that they learn the concepts completely, but don’t get bored? This is rough! Last week and the week before I wrote a song to Chris Brown’s “Forever” so that the older kids can learn how to ask someone “how are you?” they really enjoy this, especially when I’m dancing in front of the classJ.
