Yesterday was English Day at the school and it was great! It was A LOT of work and I went home exhausted, but I am glad we did it. As you all know, the students had been preparing for a few weeks for the Acto Civico. All the students did an awesome job and we actually had a really good turnout of parents too! I had a couple of parents express how impressed they were with what the students could do. Before the Acto Civico, each English teacher had a room with a different activity. I had origami (I make a mean penguin by the way), Michelle had dance, Jessica had a game room and Susy had Bingo. We started the activities for the morning kids (half of our kids come in the morning and the other half in the afternoon) at 10am. The students were given a "passport" which they had to carry with them throughout the morning. After they completed each rotation, they would get a stamp on their passport. Than, at the end, if they had all four stamps they received a raffle ticket. At the end of the Acto Civico, we raffled off a prize. Than, after the Acto Civico, we did the same thing for the afternoon kids. I was basically running around from 10am to about 2:30pm. It was worth, it though, and the kids really enjoyed it.
Next week, I teach Monday and Tuesday and than have the rest of the week off. There is actually a rumor that we will not be teaching on Tuesday too, because the teachers might be going on strike that day. Apparently they have not been getting paid and are not too happy about that! I am not sure what will come of it but we will see I guess.
I don't really have anything else to report. Things are pretty tranquilo right now. I hope everyone is doing well at home!

Well, Lulu, ASU beat Washington on Saturday in a most amazing way. Tied 17-17 with about 12 seconds to go and the ball around mid-field, everyone thought the game was headed for overtime. Everyone that is except for a certain Moon Valley alum by the name of Chris McGaha. Sully found a wide open McGaha open for a game winning touchdown as the clocked showed 5 seconds left. Most unbelieveble. Unbelievable that UDub let McGaha get that wide open and unbelievable that Sully actually threw the ball to him and not over his head.
ReplyDeleteYea Devils!!
Also of interest, Bourgade won on Friday. As the paper reported, Blake Heinley caught a 74 yard TD pass and Ryan Rodilies, better known to all us former Irish players as R-Rod, had a terrific night running the ball. I need to go watch my former players but it was very cool to see two really great kids do well.
I am happy to see education is flourishing in CR just as it is here. Hawaii just cut Fridays out of the school year. Didn't have enough money. Priorities.
Miss you and love you,

so....hilarious thing just happened...in an effort to settle my class down and I said no more talking and a kid says, can we sing, and I said no, and Esteve says can I squish my nipples and that was the end.....
ReplyDeletenot 5, not 4, not 3, not 2 but number 1! It is official, ASU Tempe is the nation's biggest campus. And some people don't see that as a good thing. More Sun Devils. How can that be bad. You are interviewing for a job. Just think of the odds that the person doing the hiring is a Devil.
