Wednesday May 8th

May 8th, today, we started our day off at 6:00 where we waited at a new bus stop closer to our house. The bus stopped, picked us up and brought us to the Jungle School. The kids all followed their normal routine in the morning. I worked in the first grade today and the kids started with their normal routine and then Spanish class started. The kids were learning the letter ñ. The kids were told to (lee y forma la palabra) read and form the word. The exercise consisted of the kids looking at letter chunking and putting it together to make a word. For example, the kids would be show pa-vo=? And they would have to figure out what the question mark is. In this case the question mark is Pavo. While the kids were working on this assignment two volunteers came in and did an English lesson. For the English lesson the kids went over the names of animals and shapes. The kids would look at a picture of an animal and have to say what it was in English.  After they continued working on their Spanish assignment. For math, the kids had to (Orden de los numerous hasta 100 (order the number up to 100). At 9:20 recess began and the kids ran outside to play. When the kids got back from recess and finished brushing their teeth the kids finished their math while I wrote their homework in their notebooks. For homework the kids has to practice using ñ. After school we headed back to the house where I Skyped for a little while with Provincetown Schools and saw some of the kids. After Skyping we headed to the beach in Carazol which is a Garifuna village. We rested here for a while and met some of the Garifuna people. We took a cab back to el centro in Ceiba and I had a pupusas for dinner. For the rest of the evening we relaxed and I worked on some of my work for school.
