School today was great. Apparently, every Monday, students not only dress up in their uniforms, but they also add some accessories - they all wear a barret. Girls wear hose stockings with covered heeled toe shoes, the boys wear a button down shirt with a tie. The entire class looked like they were ready to learn. The reason the students dress up in such a unique way, is because this is the one day of the week that they pledge the flag and sing the hymn of Ecuador and The Galapagos.
The rest of the school day was fun. We reviewed what we taught our 11th grade class on Monday and added some more material regarding ecotourism. The students had a blast and they voiced their enthusiasm of having us there.
It's a very rewarding feeling to know that students appreciate the fact that we are here, and also that they are becoming comfortable enough with us to open up with conversation and participation.
It is truly a rewarding feeling.
