These kids are the CUTEST!! Teaching is SO much harder than any of us expected!! Now that we know a little more what to expect hopefully it will get better, plus we will actually learn their names (they are hard enough to just say let alone remember who is who) but they are adorable and I love them already! On MWF I teach the beginner kids (around 6 years old) and TR I teach the other kids who already have pretty good English so hopefully that goes well today :) The last hour of everyday I am with the 3 year old who's English consists of "Hi teacher, bye teacher." haha but they are the sweetest!! It is hard because a lot of their parents say and watch us, which makes us VERY nervous! I am excited though, it will be very challenging but also super rewarding :)
One of my beginners drew a picture of me on a paper towel, from my curly hair to the blue stripes on my dress :) it was SO cute watching her look at me and tilt her little head and stick out her tongue while she was tying to get every detail in her picture. Another teacher threw it away by accident :( but i'm sure there will be more.
Here they celebrate the new year until about the 10th of January, there are still lights everywhere and lots of fireworks all the time. Last night we visited the tower with lights that blink all around, it is similar to the space needle (you can go up it and what not, but its like 70 letas so we didn't). And we got pizza!
