1. I TAUGHT TODAY!!!!!!!!!!! OH MAN!!!!!!!!!! Hahaha! It was great!!! Really, it was so much fun! I have missed teaching!! I was a bit nervous going into it, but God gave me peace and kept me calm. The language issue really wasn't an issue! I taught in Spanish!!! And I THINK that the students understood me! Or, so it seemed. I taught 75% in Spanish and 25% in English--I was planning on just teaching in Spanish, but right before the class started, Profesor Aguilar told me to throw some English in to see how the students do with that. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!! I taught about finding the measure of angles created by sending a secant through parallel lines. I had a powerpoint with practice problems in it, and for each problem, the students wrote their answer on a little piece of paper and turned it in, and then I went over the problem. That is how Professor Aguilar has been teaching, and it worked out pretty well!! If it were my own classroom, I would have done some things differently, but as a guest in someone else's room, I wanted to make it as much like the usual routine as I could.
2. I have come to the conclusion that minerals taste nasty. Water tastes good. Mineral water tastes gross.
3. Guess what?? Tomorrow evening we are leaving for our adventure in Cusco! So, that means that I won't post anything until we get back on Monday. I don't know much about what we're going to do while we are there. What I do know is that we are leaving tomorrow evening and sleeping on a bus, and we're coming back on a plane on Monday morning. And sometime in between tomorrow evening and Monday morning, we are going to go to Machu Picchu and we are going to climb Huayna Picchu. Sounds like a good plan to me!!
Jesus, I pray that You would guide us as we travel to Cusco--may this journey glorify You! Be in our conversation and our thoughts and interactions with one another, God. And thank you so much for the great teaching experience I had!! And thank You for Colegio Claretiano!!
