First of all: Happy 25th Mom and Dad! That is a big milestone! I’m very glad you got married and had Curtis and I. Thanks!
Today was a very busy day. In the morning Guadalupe and I made up a dance that we are going to teach twelve children so that they can perform for the cultural night in my site on October 24th. I am very excited about this night. Especially, because I am actually contributing something!!! The children are going to perform a dance that I (with Guadalupe’s help) made up AND I am going teach the youth how to bake cookies and they are going to sell them that night. I think it will be very successful!
Once we were finished choreographing our dance I went home and finally finished writing the lesson plan for a three-week class that I hope to run in November. The class is entitled Libros y Arte (Books and Art). I am hoping to start getting children excited about reading. Each week we are going to read two chapters of a book and then do a fun art project to go along with the book. After several of these types of classes my hope is to eventually drop the art part and turn it into a reading program in which the children will start read on their own.
In the afternoon I went to the city for and aerobic dance class. Guadalupe and I signed up for a month of classes. There are two instructors. One is really good and gives us a great workout. The other… not so much. Today the instructor we don’t like so much was there and spent a good 40 minutes of the hour-long class talking. I wanted to scream ‘Shut-up! We don’t care,’ but of course had to hold my tongue. The instructor we liked was teaching the next class so we decided to stay for a second class. Fortunately, by the end of that hour Guadalupe and I were both satisfyingly exhausted!
