today was the big day. i finally went to school in los barriles. i was really scared and it was really hard. the teacher didn't show up to school so one of the moms was the substitute. she only spoke spanish. my english speaking friends amanda, jordan and giovani helped me, but it was scarey and hard. the kids were finishing a week of testing. the test my third grade class took was 30 spanish words that needed to be put in alphabetical order. my mom said it was a great brain challenge and would help me learn more spanish and work on my dictionaray skills. i was afraid i wasn't doing it right. i only missed one word. we went to school at 8:00 and had a snack break at 10:30. my mom came to check on me and brought me choc. milk and cheetos. we jumped rope and counted in english and spanish. one girl got up to 60! i left school early because i didn't want to stay until 12:30. maybe i will go to school here next year, but i need to work on my spanish. the first picture on the blog is the outside of the classroom, the second photos is the inside.

Hi! We are thinking of going down to Los Barriles for some of this school year and wanted to know if you went back to the school. I also wanted to hear what your parents thought of the school experience.
Thanks,
Anne
