This week was our first week back from break. I was able to teach more and work with the kids more. Both of my lessons this week were in grammar. I really enjoyed teaching the lessons because I think it helped the students see me more as their teacher. I was also able to have a lot of fun with the kids. Some of the kids bought a roll of bubble gum at lunch and the students decided to use it as a limbo stick. It was a lot of fun to watch them be normal silly kids. I was also able to help the students with their dance for the Mother's Day celebration.
On Thursday and Friday the students had their government testing so we did not have regular class. While the students were testing on Thursday I was able to go and work with the first grade English teacher. The students were very adorable but there was more of a language barrier because the students at that age were just beginning to really learn English. On Friday I was able to help the librarian out with cataloging books during the testing.
Friday evening, Lindsey, Luis, and I decided to drive to Cholula so Lindsey and I could try to finish our souvenier shopping. We had fun just weaving in and out of all the little shops. When we finished our shopping for the evening, we walked to the zocalo and were able to see some amazing musicians. They were playing different types of flutes and it sounded beautiful. Lindsey liked it so much she bought their cd. On Saturday, Lindsey and I spent the entire day at the mall just shopping and window shopping mainly. Sunday, after Rainey and I got out of church, Margarita took us three to the archeological museum in Puebla. There were a lot of interesting objects there. After that, we all decided to see an imax movie at the planetarium. It was interesting but not quite what we expected to see.
This week was much more productive but it was also a lot of fun. I am sad that the week to come is our last week here in Puebla and with our kids at D'amicis.
