2 More Days of School

School was so much fun today! I am teaching drama this week, and I am loving it! My lesson today was that we all pretended to work at a clothing store. We cut out our 'fabric' (paper) and colored it and drew on designs. At the end we signed everyones design. I then brought out a real t-shirt and all of my students signed it. I am excited to have this to take home.

I stayed after school again to walk home with Franceska and Cassandra. I love walking home with them and I also needed to be sure of where they live so I can visit them when we don't have school. I went to Franceska's classroom to pick her up. She was still finishing up on of her assignments. The teacher had written on the board for the students to write in their notebooks up to 400. It seemed like an odd task to me.

After Franckeska was ready we left to go pick up her sister Cassandra. She was no where to be found. On of the Spanish teachers told us that she went  home sick. Franckeska and I left the school hand in hand. I think that Franceska likes walking home with me, almost as much as I do with her.

Before I dropped her off at her aunt's house (which is where her family usually is) I noticed that the straps of her shoes had fallen off. Her mother noticed to and shook her head. I asked if I could take Franckeska with me for a while. Her mother smiled and called Cassandra who was apparently feeling much better. At least enough to go out with Teacher Carsyn. We headed over to the leather shop. I gave Jose Franceska's shoes and he sewed on a new buckle and fastened the ends. He even cleaned and shined her shoes for her. Franceska was so proud when she put her shoes back on.

Dinner tonight was very special. Our coordinator through us a party which contained a lot of food and dancing. She also gave each of the teachers a wooden pot to take home as a gift from her.
