Nutrition Day and Spelling Bees

We can't believe that it's our last week here in Ecuador! Our time here has flown by. Saturday, we came to school to participate in a nutrition program put on by the school. There were songs and dances about fruits and vegetables, skits, information about food labels, exercise, and healthy snacks. We had a great time!

Monday we went to classes with our hosts in the morning. After the first recess, we worked on some homework and our show. We got a lot accomplished! After lunch and the second recess, we went to the 5th grade spelling bee! It was fun watching the students from Jefferson spell English words. They did a GREAT job! After, we had a dress rehearsal for our show. It looked great! We can't wait to show the school our cultural show that we've been working so hard on!
