just lovely.
I was invited to this school by Agatha, who is an important lady there, and one of Tanja's good friends. I came to watch (or so I thought) the final oral exams for a group of 7th grade students.
But, as soon as I walked in the room and was introduced to the teacher, she asked me to take over! I told her I wanted to watch her do one questioning before I started. So she did one question, and I totally understood what she was looking for, so I jumped right in. We (Niecy also got drafted to be a professor for the day) started with one class and then were pulled to do another class. Then they decided to split us up and we would be much more able to reach a greater number of students to test. Overall the students were positively accepting of us, and I really had some great dialogue with these 7th graders. So, for almost 3 hours Niecy and I were professors giving English oral exams. When we finished, we walked back to
my house and then Niecy got picked up. I worked a bit with my camera, and got it ready to take more pictures for my blog. I also took a short power nap and played Words with Friends. At around 2:30 it began to rain.. excuses me, POUR! Add some
lightning and some thunder and you have a couple of hours with the rain pounding off of the tin roofs behind our house, and a wonderful background noise to try
