Sorry for the long delay in posts! So much has happened which is really exciting but it also means that we've been incredibly busy. Last week was our first official week in the school. We spent a lot of time in our "office". It's actually an old locker room. It's great though, nice and spacious and we have our own bathroom. Our mini-fridge and coffee maker are probably the highlights. We spent a lot of time planning last week. We were getting ready for the programs we are starting this week.
On Thursday, we had an assembly to introduce ourselves to the school (well, k-5). We were all a little nervous because most of the students already know City Year pretty well and the assembly was 50 minutes long. Fortunately, it went really well! The kids were as well behaved as could be expected for sitting in seats the whole time. We played Peel the Bananas with them which must be their favorite City Year activity. They all knew it and went crazy, even the 5th graders.
It goes: peel bananas, peel, peel bananas (repeat), smash bananas, smash, smash bananas (repeat) eat bananas, eat, eat bananas (repeat), Go bananas! Go, go bananas!
That is just so you all know the words when I come home and need someone to do the banana dance with. It's hilarious and the kids love it.
I'll post more soon (hopefully tomorrow!). I miss you all and love you!
