Week 1 Recap

Here we are in our the signature Rostro polos! (and showing our true colors) So legit now. Everybody has almost survived the first week of work (I don´t start Mundo til next week). Semillas has been a great time this week- we generally get anywhere from 45 to 70 kids (with a high of 115..) and run una actividad for the first hour, have recreo for the second hour and then give a quick charla before giving everybody bread, a banana, a vitamin (the delicious Flinstones ones) and sending them on their merry way. The little kids are maniacs but a lot of fun and we have been mildly successful calming them down with a story. Fun fact- Dr. Suess books ryme in Spanish also- you should check out Juevos Verdes con Jamon. It seems to be more of a crap shoot whether or not we have any control over the big kids during the activity but today´s tangrams, for those who remember middle school math, went surprisingly well. Maybe they were too stymied (as was I) to try to strangle each other.

Also, I quasi-passed my driving test so I am allowed to drive around the neighborhood under supervision of Brendan or Kipp. It´s like having my permit- parental supervision required. Traffic laws are pretty iffy so I should fit right in.

We are almost done painting the house, just the living room to go, and should be moving in later tonight Woo Hoo!
