Another crazy day; I didn’t teach anything! The day was mostly taken up with practicing for Fiesta Tipica: the dances and songs and flow of the program. My kids decorated things for our champas for most of the morning, using paper, beans, rice and corn. They also made this diorama of Lake Yajoa, the lake in Honduras. They were so proud of it and it was really good! They watched the dances and went to recess, then decorated more and began to play the games I had: Uno and cards. They LOVED Uno and were occupied with that for awhile. Then it was lunch with extra long recess and they couldn’t wait to get back to play Uno haha. I also borrowed some other games from Sarah so note to self: I need more games for my kids to play for times like these. I told them some things toward the end of the day of what to expect on next week’s science quiz, handed back their reading quiz, and then they left early to help set up and practice in the park. The day actually seemed longer though because there was no set schedule. We helped to set up some more of the park, had dinner in town, then headed home. Kirsty, LB and I watched some ALIAS and I had gotten a package from my friends back home and a card from my grandma to open, too. Thanks for sending things!
