Tomorrow we are having an entire day of English at the school we are working in. I am really excited to see how this whole day works out because we have worked so hard to make sure it is a success! The day begins with the entire school going to mass together, then we come back and are having a group assembly. After the assembly we are going to lead a group sing along. Then we will break up into groups and do age appropriate activities. My class is going to be writing and creating Christmas cards to give their families.
This experience has taught me a lot about planning. We are having to completely create something that has never been done before here. It is really neat to see the whole process come together. Finding the time and supplies was probably the most stressful part of planning.
I am enjoying my time with my family as well. They have been so welcoming and I feel like they are making my experience here better than I could have imagined. I love learning about their food and traditions when I am trying my best to converse with them. All in all, this past week was great and I am looking forward to the week ahead.
