School Market sale
School Market Sale
Lighting Ceremony
November is a busy month because there are a lot on the agenda. This past week wasn´t really eventful as far as teaching goes. Monday was a holiday; Tuesday there was the mini ceremony; Wednesday through Thursday the high schoolers had the big market sale; Friday was a half-day.
One amazing thing about D´Amicis is the community aspect of it. The purpose of the market sale was to raise money for the graduates to have a graduation party. All sorts of things were for sale, but my favorite was the food section. There were a lot of games for the kids to enjoy, and for us to watch. It was a lot of fun, and different that what you would usually see in the US.
We all went back to school Friday evening for the Lighting ceremony. The ceremony was a good way to end the market sale, and start the weekend.
We have finally figured out a schedule with all the teachers that we want to work with. On Monday, we have the 6th graders, Tuesday-4th, Wednesday 3nd, Thursday-5th. The 6th graders are our favorite, so we go to them again on the half-day Friday. We pretty much take over the classroom and teach whatever the teacher tells us. It is our intention to be as resourceful to the teachers as we possibly can.
