Ok, a little about the teaching

Some pictures of my school. The middle court yard has 4 basketball courts and the flags for flag raising ceremony. Flag raising is our schools Monday tradition. It brings all the students and teachers together to sing (school song and anthems) and stand in the cold in winter.


So I have been teaching for 2 weeks now, going into my 3rd. It is great. These kids are so friendly and excited to meet you. Today they confessed to me that they don't like science but love math. I think it is because there is a lot of new English in the science and new concepts. While for math it is mostly stuff they have seen before and just have to get used to the new words. Because of this I am enjoying teaching Math. They are happier to be there and we do have time in class for the students to get to know me and for me to get to know them.
Though they have minimal English they understand a lot of jokes and make jokes with me.

I have started to get to know a lot of students and they are interested in my piercings and everyone's tattoos, Tattoos here are only on Gang members - so we must look very off to them.
