Granada,

The people of Granada are so colorful in nature. The children I work with all all pretty much eager to learn. I have been working with the first grade students, or really Kindergraden. So we do lots of ABCD, and 123, and I try and have fun with them, like not just make them write letters, but you know, really putting my psychology to work on the learning process, and how we learn and retain info. So hopefully, one of the kids will learn something, if not, that americans are nice! I have also been teaching art classes, which go well when its just me teaching. I donno why, but the other person, Bagona and I have very different teaching styles, and I just used to having more structure and preperation for my class. But all in all, I am having a very lovely time at the schools.
The best part is during recess when we have helado, or icecream. But its not icecream in the sense we know it, more like frozen juice and sugar. Its some kinda mix like that, but they service it in a little tie bag, and its fabuloso! anways, enjoy all the photos of all the beautiful children I work with and our really neat school! We have some of the best kids of all the schools!
