Today was a busy day with two school visits and a delicious lunch. Here was our schedule:
8:30 AM – 11:30 AM Public School Visit: Confederacion
12:00 PM – 1:30 PM Group Lunch at Restaurant Casa Vieja
2:00 PM – 5:00 PM Public School Visit: I.E. Distrital Usaquen
Hope. Passion. Excitement. The students of Confederation and IE Distrital Usaquen schools were phenomenal today. Like
students at home, the Colombian students were excited to have visitors in their
classrooms. It was fun to see how eager they were to practice their English
with me. It’s encouraging that no matter where you are on the globe, kids are
kids. They play. They avoid homework. They talk in class. They learn. They love
their teachers.
Students suited up for a PE class.
Students prepared delicious treats for us in their culinary classes and served them with a local tinto (coffee).
They explained in a mixture of English and Spanish how they created each dish, including crushing oreos to put on the top of the cheesecake! Yum!
Students enjoying some free time between classes. Pick-up soccer games were a big hit!
We spent the morning observing a mixed-age class for struggling readers. The class was working on identifying words with certain letter combinations. They had detailed notebooks with lots of colorful notes.
Students in a business administration class were working on presentations.
