On Friday, we visited some classrooms to tell the students more about ourselves. we even had some conversations with some of the younger kids! There are 3 Jefferson schools in Ecuador and on Friday, they had a math competition. We went and watched for a while. After, we played some cards instead of soccer during recess to keep out of the sun for a little. Mrs. Laudeman and Miss Gabriel met with Anna's, Elaina's, and Cece's host family for lunch. Then it was time for everyone to go their separate ways.
On Saturday, we had a great time at the water park on! Mrs. Laudeman and Miss Gabriel even joined in on the fun! Miss Gabriel made sure that we all reapplied sunscreen a lot so we wouldn't burn. The waterpark had many slides and a big pool for us to play chicken and basketball in. The kids didn't want to leave! Around 5:45, it was starting to get dark so we had to leave. We're excited to call our families tomorrow. Week one flew by, so we're going to enjoy every moment of the next two weeks!
