Not a lot to say about yesterday apart that one of my student was sick and we had to take her to the emergency room. She had fever, stomach ache and headache... Virus and deshydratation..Nice ;-)

Today in the morning they had 2 hours Spanish lesson and then we went to the local school to visit some classes. The organisation is a lot different from Europe and I didn't know how the teacher could teach in these condition: some students are speaking, others are listening to music, others are coming in and going out without asking: and the teacher was calm, trying to teach to those who wanted... I tip my hat to him.
I then went to the maths class. Even if the atmosphere was the same, the teacher had a bit more control on his class and we made a frog in origami. SO FUNNY!! And so different from a maths class in France LOL

Free afternoon for the students: FREEDOM!! Even if I was in the office to work, it was nice to have some silence and be listened to when speaking to someone. My goal of becoming a teacher is made hardships but is still relevant. Here I canot yell at the students or punish them: I must be friendly and helpful to make their stay nice and make them come back....I promise, I've been nice with them and keep cool nearly all the time. Thanks mainly to their teachers who kept them controlled. Even if I was in the office to work, it was nice not to have to worry about the students!
We had a meeting at 6pm at CPI for the celebration of the 20 years of CPI. We had a great time, dancing, eating barbecue (but no as good as the one in Sherbourne LOL), and meeting all the students. I had some time to speak more with Royner, the dance teacher and also english teacher. He reminded me a lot FT in his way of speaking, acting, thinking, from the start we had a good complicity, and even if I was a bit sad, we had a good time speaking together. He promised me to teach me how to dance (good luck!) and I'll teach him French....Good deal!
At the end of the evening, when all the kids went home, all the CPI staff still there we...how to explain...well...I think the best way would be to say that we...no, I really can't explain...I need to show you:
