Day 4- Huehuetenango, Guatemala

Most of today's class consisted of hair: hair types, lengths and colors. 

We incorporated "I have" to create more sentences! Each student was assigned to construct an accurate sentence of what type of hair they had. Fortunately, everyone had a paper that they used as a reference which included the different hair types, lengths and colors. They could all use a break from taking notes!

It really helped by giving me confidence and reassurance of teaching another English class.

I was filled with several different emotions; from sadness, to pure relief, to gratitude and pride. 

Today's final day consisted of a large review, from the first day of class to yesterday's lesson, from simple colors, to creating complex sentences. I was so pleased with how they knew everything from the start!
