"A..B...C....easy as 1....2...3...."

........not so much!

Fridays are very fun/special days for me.

Why?
Portrerillos.

What is that?
A little town at the top of a mountain close to my home.

What do I do there?
Something that I never thought that I would be doing....teaching English in a legit school. WHAT?
Poor kids!
No I LOVE it! Like, the kids have gripped my heart. We have already created a bond. We started at the end of January. I started in October to get a feel of how it would be, but the schools are out for summer break Nov-Jan.


Im no professional but I am really trying to help these kids. They are incredible. We do a written review of the week before, then we learn 15 vocab words a week, grammar lesson, conversation roles, and we play a game at the end. I try to bring candy or cookies, or some kind of treat for the games. They love it. 

I love them. It works. 
If you guys have any tips or suggestions I am so open. The schedule I have now works, the tough part is that I only come once a week for an hour and a half. But it is something that I like to do to help out the community.

WORD OF THE DAY: MAESTRA
LITERAL MEANING: TEACHER
HOW I SEE IT: my unknown career!
