Week three has finished and it has been very busy! This week Alana and I was able to prepare lesson plans for our students. We started with basic conversation skills and then moved on to some presentations that discussed Canada and focused on Winnipeg for topics such as animals, seasons/ weather and temperatures. I brought my iPad that had pictures which helped the students to understand the English words.
We also had the spelling bee on Tuesday at Calderon. I was happy with how well the two girls that Inca sent. But in the end they didn't place because the spelling bee went into extra words. The extra words were very difficult and impossible to sound out as English is not their first language.
On Wednesday we also went up the mountain in the cable car. This was an amazing experience as we were able to over look Quito. When you are at the top the altitude can for sure start to mess with your head and stomach. I did start to feel light headed but felt ok again once we reached the bottom. We also went to Mindo on Saturday where we we able to go to a butterfly farm. They have many different kinds of butterflies here and you are able to feed them. The butterflies are beautiful colors and I could spent hours watching them all. After that we went tubing. But it was more like white water rafting! The current was strong and the water was cold but it was an experience I will never forget. In the afternoon at Mindo we went hiking to see two waterfalls. These were beautiful and made for excellent pictures. The hike was tiring though and I'm sure everyone slept well that night.
