DAY 5

Today was our day to see what Colegio San Agustín. We were in class with our exchange students, listening to how class was run at CSA. Native Spanish speakers speak VERY fast, and it's pretty difficult to understand. I taught my class a little about how we do math in the USA, and showed them the acronym PEMDAS for order of operations. They thought that was a great way to remember! During 3rd period, we took a break from normal class and the group went to a culture class. The girl who talked to us was from New York, and she spoke to us in Spanish and English so that we could learn about food, geography, and stereotypes. That day we also had a cake for JP's birthday! After this, we left school and either shopped or went home to have lunch. Lunch is at 2:30 or 3ish and is typically bigger that breakfast and dinner. School gets out on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 2:15, but on Monday anf Wednesday, they have to go that normal time, lunch, then return to school until 5:15. Long day!
