My day basically starts at breakfast and today it was scrambled eggs, toast, and chocolate milk. Then I went to the daycare to help out and my parents and Sam went to work at the school. The daycare is chock full of wild kids. Somehow during storytime, four of them decided it would be fun to cram themselves in between the trash cans and the wall. Then the daycare teacher asked me to entertain them while she talked to a parent. First we sang songs, (they liked the hand motions) then I told them the story of the Tortoise and the Hare in Spanish. At the daycare, the kids do lots of art projects and coloring. Then it was their snack time, which is when I go help out at the school. Mostly there I sat and made use of a notebook and pencil since mostly it is them copying stuff of the board and repeating English phrases. Then I leave to have lunch with my mom and Sam. After that we walked to town so Sam could get a haircut. It was very interesting to see how it is done in Costa Rica. After that we went and got icecream for a treat. And that is where I will stop, because I can't predict the future.
