The talent show is the big event in school this week. The students have all been preparing to perform for their classmates. Everywhere you turn there is some student performing a dance or singing a song. I can not wait to see the students! My host sister is performing a dance with her friends and I am loving helping her pick out outfits for her big night! All 6 of us are planning on going together which should be a lot of fun. There is going to be a lot of food and socialization at the talent show. I am liking how at school we can all get together.
One thing I am really enjoying about this whole experience is seeing the actual progress that we are making. Today in class we reviewed phonics with the letters S, L, and M. I really loved seeing the students identify pictures of words that begin with those letters. The kindergarten students are really excited everytime we go into the class.
We are trying to plan our travels for the next few weeks that we are here. There are so many awesome things to do here in Costa Rica, and we are trying to see as much as we can. I know that we are definitely trying to go see Arenal and Monte Verde. We also really want to go ziplining together.
One thing I am loving about Costa Rica is the great access to the beaches that we have. You can get to a beach on a bus within an hour. So far I have been able to see Samara and Tamarindo beaches and both were amazing. The water is so blue here, and the tide gets very high in the afternoon. Small islands appear just off the coast in the water so the view from the beach is amazing!
