Mi Vida en Costa Rica

Well, I have a lot of catching up to do now that I've put the pictures up!:)

a presentation about staying clean with their products. the kids liked it:)

doing some class work!

lunch at the site to celebrate Tifani's birthday

the cake!

the mom (Carmen), the birthday girl, and Allie in the back ground:) Carmen, after we sang happy birthday, wiped her daughter's face with the icing and they started chasing each other. it was quite entertaining:)

view from the work site in Moravia

we made popcorn in class to study how matter changes

passing out the popcorn...

eating popcorn! apparently, many of the kids have never had popcorn made over the stove...they were amazed at how good it was!

one of the best parts of driving to the work site is the view of this magnificent-looking church in Moravia.

VBS with the Alabama work team, Llano Grande (the same place where the rose garden is!)

What's surprising about the site of this church is the fact that it is in the province of Cartago, the site of the Basilica and so most of that region is Catholic.

also in Llano Grande, we found a Poinsetta tree, and I wanted a picture with it (thank you to the owners!) and then some of the team members followed me:)

After the team week, I went home for my visa and for Krista's birthday! She LOVED her new tica doll:)

Now that Christmas is approaching, it's time to decorate the classrooms! We made ornaments in our homeroom class (the group of ornaments) and in another class I subbed, we made them too! (the above) and put them on the wall in the form of a tree:)
