Day # 78 They are exited too

4/9/13

Today was a my second day at work, I was in the highest level classroom that they teach. It was about 7 children who where learning at a 2end grade level. They where working on short i sounds. (Bin, tin, fin). When they were done with that the teacher had them trace their feet on colored paper, then they were supposed to write where their feel had taken them over the easter holiday. I though it was a grate exercise to get them thinking. After lunch we all went to the arts and crafts cupboard and started going threw it. Next month is the art exhibit so we are starting to think about what we could have the kids do. To my surprise and excitement a few of the teacher's are very interested in art. One of the teachers does wood working and the other has been trying to get the school brightened up. So I think that I have been placed in the most perfect school for me. I think that I can do a lot around the school and have the children help as well. One of the main things that I noticed about the school that could use some refurbishing is the play ground. I think I might try and design a playground that is accessible for the disabled. A lot of the kids at my school are high functioning and love to climb all over stuff, it will also get some of their energy out for the teachers. I am so exited to get designing and working with the teachers and kids around the school.  

PS. If any one has any wood working tools or other art supplies they would used and loved if they arrived at my school!!

I think I have decided that I am not going to buy meat any more, I am not saying I wont eat it at other peoples homes and restaurants but for my apartment I think I am going to stick to fruits, veggies, rice, beans and so forth.  I am actually to my surprise liking eating at home, bringing my own meals places and feeling healthy. I can all ready see and feel the difference in my health and it has not been that long sine I started my Peace Corps adventure.

Tonight i am going to cook pasta with steamed veggies and plantains. I think this will be a good meal before I start dancing tonight. I want to practice as much as possible so I am almost at the same place as the others. I think I am catching up rather quick, but who am I to say that lol. any ways Today was a good day.

talk to you all later love you
