Concordia

My original thoughts in coming down here were that I would fall in love with Dominicans. While that is the case, I've also grown to love another nationality as well...CANADIANS! The following are some pictures of last week's group from Montreal:

They did a wonderful job jumping in and assuming their roles as the English teachers at Francisco Javier and were also quick to lend a hand come time to do multiple work projects in order to get ready for the big weeks. Also, not only did they faithfully cheer for me after every time I gave announcements, but they took the time to write us a song which in turn put them over the top and made them blog-worthy. The following lyrics are from the song they wrote. It should be sung to the tune of "We Will Rock You!" accompanied by the infamous 'slap slap clap.'

We Would Like to Thank You

Coming from Concordia 

Los Americanos

7:45 is the wake-up call

You got breakfast at 8

Pancakes on your plate

Morning announcements

Don't be late

Chorus:

We would like to thank you

On our way to school

With lessons in mind

Got numbers and colors

Body parts to find

Teaching was a blast

Went by so fast

Recess is over

Wish it could last

*Chrous

Back for lunch

Gotta shovel a bunch

Counting the sheets

In the blistering heat

Playing with the kids

Till 3:15

We hear yelling

As soon as we're seen

*Chorus

(Everyone)

Walk around town

Eating ice cream

Grocery shopping

Sunrise hiking

Karie, Jody, Julie,

Alexandra, Mike,

Janet, Elizabeth,

Amy and Christine

*Chorus x2
