This week seemed to fly by! It’s hard to believe that we only have a week left here in Nicoya. This week has definitely been the hottest week since we’ve been down here. After being down here for six weeks, I think I’ll definitely be ready for Charlotte’s summer weather!
Since we’ve been teaching at San Ambrosio now for four weeks, it seems more like home. This week has run incredibly smoothly. In all of the grades, we have been working a lot with conversations. Each grade has been working with partners to practice speaking English. In fourth grade, we’ve also been working on the English vocabulary that describes the parts of the school. They’ve designed signs to post up around school. The fifth grade is still working on stories that deal with traveling. They have learned additional vocabulary that helped them write paragraphs relating to traveling. In sixth grade, they’ve been working with stories dealing with “Heroes and Famous People.” San Ambrosio is coming to the end of their first quarter. During the next couple of days, we will have to give the students their English assessments.
Life outside of school was normal! While walking the streets of Nicoya, I feel more and more like a local. I know the city a little better and have my regular places where I go. Last night I went with Torrey and her family to a soccer game! It was very exciting to attend. The game was against the Guanacaste team and San Jose team! It was very interesting to see the difference between sporting events here and back home!
I am excited about next week, but I know I will also be sad to leave!
