The North American teachers were priviledged to take part in an Honduran party (Fiesta Catracha) put on by the Hondurans at the school. It was a BIG deal, every grade did something to contribute to the fiesta.The 3rd graders sang an Honduran song while waving a flag around. They were so cute! The 4th or 5th grade put on a fashion show displaying a lot of traditional Honduran costumes/clothing. Some high school classes make little huts with information about different locations around Honduras, very impressive.
Some of my little chicklets in their Honduran soccer jerseys, after their flag song performance !
Beside the entertainment, food was also provided for us. I was able to sample a variety of Honduran cuisine. It was really good! Some of my favs : baleadas, and plantanos
Love your pet idea! Are all the insects in Honduras super sized? Your students are adorable.....we had a downpour of rain today so served hot chocolate for my afterschool meeting!...just needed a fireplace in my office to make it perfect!! Love you, Gma
ReplyDeleteInsects are bigger here, but not this big. A couple of Hondurans came into my room to check out the grasshopper and they were shocked. They told me that they had never seen a grasshopper so big.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rain and hot chocolate :)
How fun! Are you pretty well assimilated into the Honduran culture now (sans the blonde hair of course)?
