It's Friday, Friday!

Friday at our school we did more teaching.  I created a CHAMPS board that my teacher can keep after I leave and used it again with my students.  It is really working wonders with the classroom management.  I taught a lesson on good listening skills.  I had the students interview a partner and then introduce their partner to the class.  This is an idea I got from one of my favorite professors, Dominique Dieffenbach.

Before lunch, a group of Garifuna drummers and dancers came to perform for the school, to continue teaching the children about their culture because of the upcoming holiday.

Lunch was provided again by Roxanna, our favorite lunch lady!

After school, we walked back to the hotel.  It was a beautiful walk and we enjoyed strolling through the neighborhood like locals ;)

We were excited to walk home.  Some of us skipped.
