...on animal print. Two of my adult women students came to class today clad in zebra-print turtlenecks. The one 30-something diva woman is sassy and fun though, so she made a good joke of it. I really have a great time with my Wednesday adult group. There is such an upbeat vibe, lots of jokes and sillies. And the diva always brings something to the table. She made some comment today that she and two other females "love Peter" (one of the guys in the class). I pipe in, "Me too!" because I thought she said something else, pertaining to the text/lesson that we were doing! Hahah We had a good chuckle about that.
My 11-year-olds got really into the Romeo and Juliet lesson yesterday. In their texts, it's a a cheesy and light-hearted version, sans death, and they got really excited about the roles plays I had them do. One of the boys especially likes playing the Juliet part, while one of the girls pulls off a convincing Romeo. Both of them full of passion in their voices, hearts swelled, "Oh Romeo. Your words are like a book. I looooooove you." "Oh Juliet. You are my star. I love you and you love me. Let's get married!" They were so in character! Beautiful.
This just in. Starting next Wednesday until the end of the school year (assuming the demo lessons on Friday go well), I will be teaching two business groups, an hour outside of town. I will get a ride and receive a bus budget for those days when no one can take me, teach for a couple of hours, then return to Radom to teach my classes there. An 11-12 hour day will be in my future on a weekly basis. Not ideal, but it could be worse. I'll use this time for reading and Italy research/planning (as I'll be meeting mom there at the end of my contract)!
As for the Olympics, GO CANADA GO!
