Week one check! Easiest first week teaching ever. Tico (Costa Rican) time is the perfect combination of African and American time. Laid back and relaxing, yet you can still get stuff done when you need to. The first day of school was overload as usual, but for different reasons. Everywhere I looked there seemed to be a different color kid speaking a different language. Escuala Futuro Verde is an international green school. The student body is a small combination of kids from all over the world, whose hippie parents moved them to Costa Rica. I find the school to be extremely exciting.

Students at the school study academics before lunch, then after the homemade organic lunch they have extra curricular types of activities: art, music, theatre, P.E., agriculture, yoga, and so on. I teach agriculture and organic gardening twice a week as well as assisting with all other afternoon activities. I plan to have the children build a compost bin next week, plant an herb garden, and start a recycling program.

The roommates and I have a weekend of sun, swimming, beach, and drinks planned to celebrate the first week!
