It is summer
here in Peru and I have been teaching summer school classes to a very cute but rowdy group of about 35 students ages 5-12. Here they called it “vacaciónes
útiles” which literally means “useful vacations”. I teach two classes per day
for an hour each, four days a week. My two classes are English and self-esteem.
We also have a book club two days a week after class in the library of the
municipality. The library has quite a few brand new children’s books that were
recently donated by one of the local mining companies which is awesome because
before that there wasn’t even a library in Huallanca. Even though the students
are very unruly and class can get pretty crazy, I am really enjoying my
adorable students and I am glad to provide something educational for them to do
during the summer :)

| Please note that yes, in Peru it's ok for dogs to hang out in the class room. |
