Primera Semana De Clases (First Week of School)



When we talked about IAS (Inter-American School,)did we mention that it sits atop a huge hill?? My classroom (kristen) is located at the top of the hill, Dustin teaches middle school which is unfortunately located at the bottom of the hill. This fact lends itself towards an increased amount of acclimation to the altitude as he ascends IAS Hill 2-3 times per day.

The first week of school went well. Hiccups were minimal and the students were great. As we all have experienced, with comfort comes a little bit of mischevious behavior shining through now and then as the semester has progressed. Science is going well however, I have had to brush up on a few things...okay a lot of things. Dustin is in his element and loving this experience.

The new staff at IAS is wonderful. Teachers of all ages. We have a very newly wed couple who was married a week before they arrived here in Guatemala. What a honeymoon huh?!?

The teachers are quickly becoming a tight knit group which is very important when away from family and friends. Speaking of...we miss you very much.
