This week is my first week back in La Limonada. Yesterday I went to both the schools: Limon and Mandarina (yes they are named after fruit, after all Limonada means Lemonade, although no one knows why the ghetto is called that, but it is) Anyway, yesterday was great, I didn't oer plan I just tried to stay flexible and in both schools I have two completely different schedules! Ha, not exactly hat I was thinking would happen, but like I said, Im trying to stay flexible.
I am in Limon on Lunes/Monday y Martes/Tuesday. The children in this school are aged 4-12. I teach 2 classes for kids in the morning one class in the afternoon for teachers and 2 in the afternoon for kids. In most classes I have about 15 children, so that is around 50 kids. BUT, that is only on Monday, I do the same thing again on Tuesday with another 40-50 different kids. In Limon, I will teach about 5-15 teachers, assistant and volunteers throughout the summer. Limon is the school that is the first one created in the ghetto by Tita Evertz and her team. I know many of the kids at this school and almost all the staff, I feel really comfortable there.
Wednesday and Thursday are a little bit different. Mandara has less children so we rearranged the classes to be separated boys and girls for all but 1 class. In this school I work with children aged 6-14. I also get to see each class TWICE a week, where in Limon, I see each class only once.
I'm excited for what will come tomorrow, but super tired at the moment and will sign off here...... thanks for reading! g
