Week 6
I can’t believe I’ve been here for 6 weeks!
And I can’t believe I forgot to tell you that we had a tremor this week. I think it was Monday or Tuesday morning. I got up because i felt my bed shaking, and (funny line of logic here, beware) I thought someone was ironing outside my room, that the ironing board was bumping the wall, and the wall was shaking the table, and the table was shaking my bed. But when I looked, no one was ironing, and the ironing table was about 3 feet from the wall…
Later I learned it was a tremor. That made more sense than an animated ironing board, but, you know, I was sleeeeeeping.
Here are some pics of classes this week.Every morning the kids line up and sing the Belize National anthem while raising the Belize flag.Then they do morning prayers together and begin class.I can almost sing the anthem myself…
I have know idea what’s going on here, but obviously it was VERY funny…
On Valentine’s Day, I went with the Standard 6 students to a science bee in Los Tambos.San Marcos school won second place, out of about 8 schools.
Think if this is what it looked like outside your classroom window
The bus
In the afternoon, we did an art lesson in each class and made Valentine’s Day cards.

On Friday night, Santa Familia school had a Valentines Day Festival. Lots of food, games and dancing…

The boys

Oh, and PS: My phone card didn’t work. I guess on double minute days, everyone tries to call and the network gets jammed :( So much for my $20 worth of happy phone time.
