Thursday 30

I went back to elementary school to see the 2nd grade Spanish lesson. Daniela Vazquez is the teacher. She has two groups of 14 students and they are starting to learn colours, food and animals. they first group was not very active and didn't do well at the beginning, then they got the idea and started very slowly to work well. I thought, maybe the teacher is not very good for kids, she's not dynamic enough. The second group was fantastic, wonderful, they got the idea immediately and the teacher allowed them to learn by themselves leading them to the right answers. She was really very good and the children absolutely wonderful.
In the afternoon there was a debate, simulating Obama and MacCain's debate. Two important people from Roanoke have come tho debate ideas, Mr Bracht and Mr Fishwick. The level of the debate was not very adecuate, the students had prepared very interesting questions, but the two speakers did not go deep into the topics, they had underestimated the audience, I think.
In the evening we went to have pizza in a restaurant.
