A Day in the Life

I did not die, but teaching is a lot more difficult Then it sounds. And by difficult I mean You have to put a lot of time and energy into it. But today I have a lot of good pictures and info to catch you up With. First, this week was kinda crazy. We did not teach on monday Because of holiday and we did not really teach today Because it was a mother's day celebration. We got to meet and see all the parents today, its always fun seeing parents Which belongs to who.

Anyway, we started out at 10:30 every morning and go through three rotations of kids. Altogether there's about 20 kids, so About 7-8 per rotation. You teach the same lesson and same subject to every class. Then we get at 1 we get another group of older kids, about 20 kids again. Then repeat every day. The school is half outdoor, indoor half. Pretty much exactly what you would imagine little kindergarten in Mexico would be. The little kids are probably the cutest thing you will ever see in your entire life.
Me and Angie could literally play for hours. If I could adopt her I would, she is so lovable and giggly.

Also my hair will always be in a bun, mostly because a lot of kids have lice. So we pull our hair back tight and spray this greasy anti live spray. Pretty gross but you do what you got to.

 This is Elian, I've almost looks arabian but is a sweetheart. In this picture I was crying Because He wanted His dad, but it was too cute not to document.
Angie is pretty much a wolf in little cute girls clothing. She is sooo cute and her hair is always perfect and lovely. But she is majorly hyperactive. Which is awesome when you 're playing, and not when you' re teaching. 
This is Abbi, she lives in the house above apartment out (we have the same yard and garage.) 
Gustavo is like the fuzzy penguin off of Happy Feet, we all agree.
Long story short, I'm in heaven with the little kids, but still working on how to effectively teach and keep the attention of the older kids. Its a working progress.

Yea! So there's a little sneak peak of a day in the life of an ILP teacher. Of course there is a lot more to it, but we are very tired from this week and hopefully we will have some awesome pictures from our weekends plans. Adios!
