Group Photo

Thursday July 29 - 9 til 4pm

Agenda: Analysis of Resources, break, Surveys, Spanish online, lunch, Travel Information, Group Photo.

I can feel the final days of training nearing as the travel information is being given to us. Now I have the regional contact person information. We are to receive an email with the location of the city we'll individually be living and teaching in. Yeah!

I am excited about the Spanish classes I will be taking online. Once I finish it in 16 weeks there will be a test to take here in Santiago. A passing score will yield an international recognized proficiency score under the BULATS testing.

At about 3pm the entire group of 64 volunteers plus the Ministry of Education staff walked to La Moneda. Here we all put on different colored t-shirts to take our group picture!!!! SMILE...

8:30pm Grace had most of us girls interested in taking salsa dance classes. SOOOO, most of us went. The class started at 9pm to 10:30pm, it was fun! Learned a few turns but I don't know if I'll remember them after a while. Since we had training tomorrow, a few of us headed back to the hostel by midnite.

What did I learn today?

Examining the textbooks I will be using, being introduced to the Spanish online course, and the group picture allowed me to understand the importance of this program (EOD, English Open Doors).
