My New Classroom

Coming back from Semana Santa break, we were moved into a new classroom.  I like it very much!!  We finally have enough space that we're not (literally) tripping over each other.  Now just have to get it organized, everything put away, and some decorations on the walls.

Working hard on cards for Ms. Gaby

My aide Ms. Gaby has also left :(   So if anyone one out there speaks halfway decent English and needs something to do for the next 3 months, without the guarantee of pay, let me know :)

Our house has a visitor.  An "ugly butterfly", as I like to call them as there is no separate word in Spanish for "moth".  The thing is bigger than my hand.

According to my host mom, it is an "angel of death" of sorts.  Its presence means that someone close to the family is going to die.  It creeped me out before I knew that...  They also have the tradition to not "sacar" it from the house, but let it stay in whichever room it decides to reside in.  Because it is right outside my room, I am keeping my door and windows tightly closed, despite the heat.

Have I posted this one already?
The pila.

My favorite past time here.
