The End of Week One!

I can't believe that the first week has already gone by. Our learning coaches are so enthusiastic and engaged that it makes the teaching fly by.
I am excited to see how they do next week when they take the presentations that we gave and present them to groups of primary teachers.
We continue to be treated so well by the Rotary club here. The Mayor invited us to his air-conditioned office for lunch where he presented some cultural gifts to us. The Rotarians took us to the local Chinese restaurant for a delicious dinner.
After a week of high-energy teaching we are excited to spend the weekend relaxing. This morning Margaretrose and I are off to Caye Caulker and Sandra is going to catch up with Charmayne in Punta Gorda. I am looking forward to doing some snorkeling, lounging in the hammock, and drinking some local rum.

It was tough to say goodbye to the administrators at the end of the week. We wrapped up with a fun activity and it was fabulous to end with huge rounds of laughter. Great networking and ideas were shared, also ways to implement some of the strategies presented this week. I was treated with some departing gifts and huge thanks from all. They are an amazing group of individuals who are passionate about making a difference to the students in Belize! WOW, what a week. I will miss the crew! - Margaretrose
