Ticking away...

Time is ticking away, and I can't believe it's only 10 days before we have to leave! School ended on Wednesday, we did all of our English testing on Tuesday. That was a whirlwind day! Around 80 students tested one by one, it took us from 8:30-12:30. Wednesday was definitely a bittersweet day, the kids were excited (and the teachers too) to have a break, but realizing it was the last time I would probably see these kids (at least for this summer) made us pretty sad!

However, we now have some new students. The kids from the neighborhood also have vacations, but they want to learn some English, so for an hour a day we've been having English class. It's pretty funny to see a bunch of teenagers crammed into the little room of tiny benches and tables which my 4 yr. olds occupied, but they're eager to learn and most of them can stay on task. It's fun getting to teach a range of ages.

Other than that we've been working on a few odds and ends. The South Africans left on Wednesday, and we were very sorry to see them go! We learned so many things while they were here, among which include: cookies are actually biscuits and rice cookers are the bee's knees. :)

Today we went to Chiclayo and Hannah and I navigated the grocery store all by ourselves (as well as indulged in soft serve ice cream.... soooooo good!) while Tina went with Tom and little Abigail to court.

Well, it's time for another English lesson, so I should get going. Chau for now! :)
