On Monday June 25th, the kindergarten classes did a little play called "El jardín de Martín". The main lesson of the play was for everyone to realize that we are all different and that we can all learn from one another and get along if we try (just like the animals learned).
They performed in front of the whole school!

We bought Luke's costume for about $22. It was handmade, but not by me, which was a little hard to swallow. If you know me you know how much I love doing stuff like that. But, I had no time (told on Thursday afternoon about the need for the costume, and we were leaving right after school on Friday to run a few errands and then visit friends... as you know from my other post, we then spent the weekend in the mountains of La Paz), and no materials to work with. In theory we could have bought stuff, but I also have no sewing machine (not totally necessary), glue gun, etc... Anyway, the Tios took us to buy the costume, so it was done!

Luke did a really good job with his speaking part (but it was good that there was a microphone!)

An interesting note. Teachers here are called "Niña"... and I of course had to find out why! It stems from the "old days" when teachers were required to be single (mostly young too, I would imagine) and they were called "Niña" (girl) then. The tradition just carried on!
