Did I mention that I was a volunteer teacher at an International School a couple of days a week? Well after a long hard spring of study, school is out for three months I am on to other educational endeavors. That includes a more intense Spanish course, a SCUBA training program, and learning how to bid, negotiate and supervise a contractor to do work at our house. So things will be no less busy, just new stuff.But back on the school…..It was great fun. I got to teach pre prepared lessons in science, math, geometry, language (English) and other stuff. And since I was the only gearhead on the faculty of three I put together a small engines course with 4 boys and 1 girl who all got greasy and sometimes frustrated in taking apart a gas engine…….and putting it back together. Five times. These kids are whizzes on a mouse but mechanical stuff was a mystery to them. None of them had ever touched a ratchet or box end wrench before. It was fun and they want to do more in the fall.
Anyway there was a graduation where every kid in the school got a diploma for completing a year. They all wore paper ties so I wore my dress up tie. The pics are cute so I included them.
Now I gotta go study SCUBA and Spanish
