Update for week of March 19
Nyesha and Maya Finishing Their Pinatas
We had a parent Meet and Greet on the day before. All of the parents of the students attending the Mexico trip met for the first time. I showed a PowerPoint that described what the kids and I had done up to that point for a recap. The parents are really excited about the trip and so are the kids. During this weeks Spanish class all they could talk about was what would staying in Mexico for 10 days be like.
Our Spanish is progressing greatly. The kids are speaking more to each other and remembering more and more of what we learn in previous weeks. We also started making necklaces and bracelets out of beads and a few of the boys are really good at drawing and they were making pictures to sell for spending money in Mexico.

These are just a few pics of the great activities that we have done. We also made another great Mexican meal. This time we made Churros and Cheese, Ham and Chicken. The kids enjoyed the fact that I allowed them to cook without giving suggestions. I also stressed what ever they made they had to eat...no matter what...:) it must of worked because the food was amazing. It was one of the best meals that I have had.
Enjoying the feast
Stay tuned for next week to see how our fundraiser has done.
