thank god its wednesday!

i know that i can't complain too much with only a 3 day work week, but trust me, my job is still pretty intense!

this morning went well in class! i created a number/ color game of BINGO and the kids loooooved it. they got really really into it and want to play again. "Maestra, tengo B2! Tengo GREEN!!!" They are 9 so anything with competition is very exciting. this afternoon was a little rough though. there was a big drama because supposedly a boy in our class did something wrong yesterday and the parents of teh other child came into complain today. he ( Lucas, the accused) would not stop crying because they wrote a note to his parents about what he had done, and he said when they saw the note about his bad behavior, they would beat him. i told you i am working with kids from a rough neighborhood. noelia (my partner teacher) is going to try to talk to the mom when she comes to get him and convince her not too be too hard on Lucas. rough stuff...

My roommate Maggie and I have started watching the Spanish sitcoms at night, they are perfect because they are really stupid and they talk slowly so we can understand what they are saying. we are so tired after teaching that all we can do after is take siestas and watch tv. i am still a little sick so tonight i think i will do the same.

i do not have internet at my house, probably not until next month, so any emailing/posting will have to wait til next week when i am back at school and can use the internet for free.

hope everyone is well!
email me about what you are up to, i like to hear what is going on at home!
beso para todos,
MC
