My wonderful 6th graders each one with a very distinct personality. I can´t wait to get full class photos. so I can show all of you the wonderful little troublemakers that have kept me busy here in Morelia.
Well minus the fact that I got very little academic accomplished the second half of this week putting me behind a few days on my schedule for the book, it was a great week. Thursday was so much fun. My students gave me lots of treats and hugs (which are my favorite). They also gave each other lots of treats and gifts. I learned a little more about who has a crush on who on Thursday. The school had a Kermesse for the students, which is what they called the fiesta the students got to enjoy for over 2 hours. The morning started with games outside class versus class. The sixth graders and I faced off with the 5th graders in a game of volleyball with a giant red ball. It was absolutely hilarious. Then the teachers faced the students 4 of us against about 15 of them, again, hilarious. Then off for food, I tried elote which is corn with mayonaise, parmesan cheese and lime juice, really good. There was also tacos and agua fresca and popsicles and churritos and all kinds of goodies for the kids to buy. They also had a stand called Registro Civil where the students could "get married" in front of an honorable 6th grade judge. I was innocently standing by to see what was going on when I was dragged by my students over to the table and wed to the soccer coach Jose Manuel. Absolutely hilarious. The couple puts on a veil and black cowboy hat and sign the paper with witnesses saying they got married. One of the students I carpool with (who is in 4th grade) married one of my 6th graders, her brothers friend, because he bought her a bouquet of balloons for Valentine´s Day. Too funny! This is why I love kids. Then off to the disco inside the gym. They have alot of songs here that have dances that go with them like our Macarena and cha cha slide. When we went back out in the afternoon for second recess after a fairly unproductive afternoon there was still music going in the gym so many of us were in there dancing all through recess and the last class of the day. Everyone was having so much fun that the teachers let the students have the last period of the day free. I think I danced with them for almost a straight hour it was so much fun. They are all great dancers, students and teachers included. My sixth graders were really good. I really wish I had brought my camera out to recess to capture the fun. They helped me learn some of the dances and they were pretty impressed when I was able to keep up (most of the time). Overall, yesterday was a blast and I finally got some pictures of my classes to share with you.
Today was fairly uneventful, but tomorrow I´m off to Pátzcuaro with my host family to see the sights. Then tomorrow night off to a party with the teachers from Varmond at a Discotec to dance and have some fun. Then Sunday a family party in the backyard to celebrate my host dad´s birthday. Then Monday back to school and my first salsa dancing lessons after school wish me luck! I´ll let you know how it goes.
