Still Lovin' it !

Today I got to see more of what a normal day of school looked like. The students were in uniform, had actual subjects and there wasn't a Giant rugby player to distract them. I got to help with another reading group again today, and also with some of the math work that they were working on.I am hoping to actually teach a lesson or two before I leave, I'm just not exactly sure what or when; its possible I get to teach a science lesson :)

On thing I got to witness today was the students Mandarin lesson. Once a week they have a teacher come in at teach them Chinese for about 40minutes, but I must say it was quite interesting. The teacher that I am working with, isn't the biggest fan of it but the kids really dont seem all to interested and goof off a lot, so I could see why. This particular school actually has four classes that are considered bilingual and are taught in both Mandarin and English; they are expecting to have up to 6 of them by next year!

Once we got home Katie, Jillian and I just sat around and talked over tea (cran, strawberry, raspberry tea it was delicious!). Oh! and I also introduced Jillian to "peopleofwalmart.com" haha simply because there was someone in the staff room talking about it so I couldn't help but show her some of the ridiculous pictures that are on there. Eventually it was time for dinner which was some sort of roast and veggies which was really good! We also broke down and ate some ice cream later too :) Eventually I had to also do the interview with her that I have been putting off a bit. I'm really not liking the fact that I have 5 assignments to do before I leave, I really would just like to enjoy myself!

Funny story... While working with one of  the students with their math worksheet, I asked if I could use her eraser. She replied with "what!?" So I tried asking her again, and then a kid across from her said oh a razer like this!? as he held up a pencil sharpener. I then tried to explain that I wanted something to make the pencil disappear and they replied with..."Ooohhh!! a Rubber!!" haha I couldn't help but laugh at the fact that something so simple was called something else (with such a different meaning at that).
