Third day of class, and today I received a new student! This brings the grand total to 5; 3 girls and 2 boys (my first little boy was VERY happy that he was no longer the only boy!) He has just recently moved here from America and is quite talkative (what do you expect from an American...). Though he's rambunctous, it's good for our classroom morale which has been painfully stoic until now. We read "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle today in class, and they each received a copy of the book to take home. Most reported the next day that they read it to their parents.

Our afternoon activity was a trip to the beach. Boy, was it a blustery day! Yet, the beach was filled, it seemed, to maximum capacity! Everywhere you looked, there were people! It begs the question, "do people here have jobs"? We carefully weaved our way in and out of the crowd and made our way down the beach, not looking at ALL like tourists with our white skin, big hats, and cameras. Ha ha.

Tonight was fairly mellow...we had Moroccan kabobs for dinner and indulged in a game of TriBond.
