Ready for a relaxing weekend!

Still having a blast! I absolutely love Jamaica! This week In the schools I learned that the first grade class is far behind compared to my students in Stoughton. Right now they are just learning their beginning consonant sounds. I feel this is the same for all the classes. It feels they are one year behind on every grade.
This week I also got observed by my cooperating teacher! I created a fun activity for my students and the loved it. I had them working in groups which they have never done before. They were doing hands on work which helped them gain a better understanding of the letters I was teaching them. I thought the lesson went fabulous and I guess it did because I got all high scores! Made me feel good!
On Wednesday I got to observe the Basic School which is ages 3-5! They are so cute!!!
Thursday and Friday I helped Miss Jenna with PE. It is so fun to watch them play the games we show them. it amazes me how much they can't wait for PE! Ever minute someone is coming up to me, "Miss Miss, PE today!" I feel bad when they don't have PE because they look forward to it and this is the only time thrived PE, when the whitewater students are down here. It is sad to hear that they don't continue it when we are gone.

I am definitely looking forward to this weekend, my mom and sister are coming down to visit me!!!! It will be nice to see a little bit of home!!
