Well, I haven´t written here for a while...Last weekend, I went to Santo Domingo with my host family...which is in the jungle! I was loving all the banana trees, pineapple fields! and papaya trees. We walked around the farm for a while, and we went swimming in a river...aren´t you all jealous it was warm enough for me to swim!!! I had so much fun. I was also able to see everyone gathered at the cemetery for Day of the Dead, or Día de los difuntos. It was cool because I´ve learned about it so much in Spanish class.
Teaching at the school is going great. Now I´m teaching Bible, Reading, Grammar,Handwriting, and Math. And I´ll keep adding on as time goes on. I LOVE this school though. The atmosphere is COMPLETELY different than any I´ve experienced before. in such a good way! Having all Christian teachers who love their kids and want them to succeed...it´s just great! Today we had parent-teacher conferences, and it was actually enjoyable to watch. The parents all really care about their kid´s education and want to help them in any way possible. Half of the parents spoke English, half Spanish, and one Korean dad had a translator to translate from Spanish to Korean. So I just thought that was all interesting. I love the diversity. Well, I´ll write more soon, but I´m going to meet with another girl who student teaches at a different school, but lives with a teacher at my school...soo ciao!
