The Southern Cross and picturesque skies - Alexandra Lee

 

 

 

 

Week 2

 

The weather makes more sense to me now, and I think my layering skills are getting better. Great new life skill to have.

 

This week I implemented activities and group structures into lessons. The teachers here have been very welcoming and open (everyone comes around), and always leave the lesson feeling content. It´s comforting to get positive feedback from them each time and also to hear positive feedback from them about other volunteer teachers. The math department is definitely having a good experience with the Geaux Global program.

 

One of the teachers that I work with was out sick for two days and I covered many of her classes. It was great to experience a day in the life of a teacher here at The Southern Cross. Working with students from grades 5, 6, 9, and 10 - all in one day - and traveling from one classroom to the next without much travel time allotted.

I really appreciated the clouds this week because they made the sunsets that much more amazing. On a car ride from the house to our Tuesday boxing class, I tried to capture the sunset. I can only imagine how amazing the photos could be from the top of one of the cerros.

 

Week 2 - complete. Here we come Week 3.
