Wednesday’s class went very smoothly! Despite a few students opting out of participating in the class, it was still a success. Those that did participate did an excellent job. Glenda, Isaac, Leonardo, Stephanie (Kimberly), Kati, and a friend of Stephanie all showed an interest in learning. Nadiuska, Didier, and BradDylan did some coloring and perused the pages of a few Hooked on Phonics (similar to Dick and Jane) books. They all took a short, oral quiz at the end of the class and received candy in exchange for their hard work.
Thursday, I accompanied the Camilo Ortega students on their field trip to the volcano in Masaya and Catarina. Around 9:00AM, a school of a little over a few hundred students crammed into a total of seven yellow school buses. Ninoska appointed herself as my tour guide throughout the trip. She stayed by my side and made sure everything went smoothly for me. We all did a little exploring by the volcano and I was introduced to some of their classmates and friends. On our way down from the top, we stopped at the museum. They all enjoyed looking at the dead insects and stuffed wildlife. Later, we crammed back into the buses and went to Catarina, where the kids got to do some swimming and relaxing by the mountainside. Overall, it was a very relaxing trip! I’m enjoying everyday here!
