After my first week in the school, I have found that this experience is not going to be long enough! The students are very friendly and interested in what we are here to do and about our lives back home in the states. I feel like we could teach them so much if we had more time here. They seem to want to learn English and they listen well to Nicole and me. I am glad we are able to work together because we can share our ideas with each other and it allows us to come up with activities that are more fun and beneficial to the students.
We are beginning an English club soon that will meet after school and will be for us and the students of 7th, 8th, and 9th grades to drink coffee and tea, eat some snacks, listen to music, and participate in conversation with us while only speaking English. Their teacher came up with the idea and I think it will be a great way for the students to learn while being able to interact with us on a personal level.
As for Nicoya, this town is amazing. I love the environment, the food, and the weather! But this weekend we are heading to Playa Samara and I could not be more excited. I have heard that the beach is beautiful and I am looking forward to the time I will get to spend with my friends!
