Well I love learning about the culture more and more! I feel as if I´m seeing everything and trying to become a tica! I WISH! This weekend I learned how to Maranga and realized how much I have been missing out all my life. The dances here are wonderful and part of the culture; it is what everyone does here! I actually learned pretty fast since I love dancing, but I wish I was better. The women and men here really connect through dancing. It isn´t like that in the states! I´m going to bring it back, hopefully.
Also, Friday all the student teachers and a teacher named Harold visited another school in Casas. The school right away was different! They had more money, but they were still a Catholic school like San Ambrosio. They had levels for their English classes, which is helpful in offering appropriate instruction to all students. I want to help the system at San Ambrosio to make it more efficient for the students at each grade level. Hopefully, we can help make a difference in San Ambrosio School and with the students because I want my students to know as much English as they can.
