Spanish School in Antigua, Guatemala

My mother keeps asking about the kids and how are they doing in Spanish school. Today is Friday, and we are all a little relieved that the weekend is here, but it's only because we can sit around in the morning and I don't have to walk across town. The school is called Centro Linguistico and they each have their own instructor, all of whom have been very good. It seems like our morning teachers have a bit more patience with Mason, and they all have commented on how tranquila Olivia is. That means she's calm, compared to Mason, I guess.

Anyway, they are learning verbs which I will reinforce this weekend. There is a lot of game playing, after which they write down vocabulary words for the day. They do a lot of conversing, just talking and usually in the afternoons, the school offers an activity. Yesterday, they went to a Mayan village and made tortillas, saw how the women weave and then got drenched by the rain. Today they will take salsa lessons. It seems like Mason has decided he is going to speak Spanish, even though he fought it all year at Mesita (he is in a dual language school for those of you who don't know). Here is a picture of them all playing loteria, my favorite game of all time. If you have any questions, let me know!
