Howdy all! I finished lesson planning for next week- we turn them in by Thursday for the following week. Classes at Mundo are going much better now that we have split the decimos and novenos into smaller groups. The idea is to get them speaking and writing more and it was too tough to get the shy ones to say anything in English in a class of 30 kids. My own speaking skills (or lack thereof) are still struggling but my comprehension is coming along (thanks to La Catrina and Destinos I am sure). I am 3 classes in with my adults and they are always a ball- the 2 hour class goes by quickly. We started very basic- Hi how are you? (to which they respond How are you?.. not understanding I have just asked them a question) They are also quick to tell me which English grammar rules are stupid or unnecessarily confusing and I fire back with things I do not for the life of me understand about Spanish, so it works well.
I only have 2 classes at Mundo today and then am headed back for Semillas in the afternoon- I am there Mondays and for an hour on Wednesdays and that time is still the highlight of the week because the kids are hilarious. Monday we made newspaper hats with the little guys and tried to explain who Peter Pan is.. no dice.
That is about all for now. Sorry, I just noticed this post is really boring. Have a great day!
Do they say "howdy" in Ecuador?? Not boring and will you make me a newspaper hat when you come home?
