Some funny things: I was telling Carlos how to do his language assignment and I was like “You’re smart you can do it!” And Leonela laughs and was like, “Miss Sneden you told Carlos to do it!” I was like, “Leonela what is going on in your mind!” Crazy kids.
Most people who know me know I like Michigan State. Well I have not just one, but two Michigan alum teaching down here with me (Kirsty and Tad). They are both very proud of their university, but Tad is let’s say a little more outspoken about it. He has taught his Nivelacion class (kids learning English this year) the “Hail to the Victors” song. I hear this song about once a day coming out of his classroom from these kids. I stopped by his classroom to tell him something about our passports and the kids (knowing I’m not a Michigan fan) break out in the song; I was like, “No way…” and walked away. Ah young impressionable minds; they probably don’t even know what they’re singing.
Kirsty had gone to the US this Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday to interview at a law school she’s been wait-listed at, so all of us teachers took some of her classes throughout the week. I taught second grade math Wednesday (they had a test) and science on Thursday (about being cheerful, respectful, and honoring/obeying authority as a part of their health curriculum. I felt so different in the way I spoke with them: my tone, being even more deliberate and slow in my pronunciation with them and using simpler words. They were so well behaved though, almost always asking to get up to get anything. Loved it.
