Megan says Hola!: Day- to- day tidbits

There are school elections going on and each of the three twelfth grade classes is trying to be elected to run various unknown (at least to me) events and they are all given a lunch period/ afternoon to ‘campaign’. And by ‘campaign’ I mean, blast regatone, dj, hold dance and limbo contests, throw candy at screaming children , wave banners, paint faces, put colored hairspray into children’s hair, set off colored smoke bombs and wear costumes and or skimpy outfits. Good times have been had by all.

We have now won trivia night at Finn Mccool’s for the last two weeks running which entitles us to $50 worth of beer! It feels great to be a champion!

Jen and I switched Spanish schools and like the new school much better and because of this have upped our classes to two, two-hours classes per week, so hopefully this speeds up the language learning process that much more!

My students had to do news broadcast that included both international and school news and they were a huge success; some of the students brought in giant maps to do the weather with, others dressed up in blazers, some brought in fake cameras so a student watching could film them.

My students also did presentations on the topic of their choice and this resulted in many incredibly detailed presentations on the band One Direction-ugh – never again. This week my classes are presenting one the country of their choice and I have promised them bonus marks if they bring in food for the entire class and already I have eaten food from Argentina and America and I am hoping for much more!
