This week has been a long one. We have been having school on Saturdays to make up for the week we had off during the swine flu scare. So this Saturday during my fourth form lesson, I noticed that a few of my students, who seem to be at lower levels of English, actually do really well with more one on one attention. I offered to give them an extra lesson on Sunday and any student interested who over heard my offer begged me to work with them on Sunday as well, so we agreed on a time and we met today at the school. Here are pictures of my town, my school, my classroom, my students and my walk home from school. Today was a great day for pictures because their central market runs on Sundays so the town was hoppin.
My school and some of my more devoted students.
And into my classroom....
These are the collages I did with my English club. Okay so it was just me, one of my co-workers and my one best 11th grade student who actually comes to my English club. But we had fun!
Some of my homemade materials. I will never claim to be do the best I can.
"Language is the key which unlocks the charm of the country and an understanding of the people"
"Village images from the vision of the children"
A project my host mom did with some of the kids at our school. She is the art teacher and she had her students paint big pictures of the town and they have arranged them along the road to my school. This is one of my favorite things about my town. Though some vandals keep knocking them down, they always just put them right back up.
Someones turkeys
Another orthodox icon. Every time they pass one they do the sign of the cross, and its done the inverse of the way Catholics do.

And back to home sweet home,
