More classroom visits!! 🤓
*Side Note: So I found out that student in 3° do not have their uniforms yet from the Ministry of Education, but students in 4° and 5° have their uniforms.

| 4° Math Class |
Today I had the opportunity to visit a math class for grade 4°. They were studying Exponential Functions. I do NOT remember how to do these! I tried asking the teacher if this was Algebra I, but I think it seemed like something that would be taught in Algebra II (usually 11th Grade in the U.S.), and these students are learning this in "10th Grade". Which makes sense since they would graduate the next year in "11th Grade." I am not familiar with the IB program, and I found out that the students that are in 3° Grade are not in the IB program until 4° and 5° Grade. Students seemed to be trying to solve the problems, and the teacher would walk around the classroom checking to see if students understood the problems.

| 4° English Class |
The second class I went to was 4° Grade English. I shared about myself. Then I asked the students to talk about "Why learn English?" and "Why learn another language?". They mentioned opportunities to talk to people from different countries, to be able to study in the U.S., to learn about different cultures, etc. Then they asked me some questions about the differences in Peruvian culture and my culture, what's good about living in the U.S., what my favorite Peruvian food is, etc. It was a nice exchange! Then some students performed a dialogue they created about their favorite piece of technology. We had some extra time so I taught them to fold an origami heart, which I think they enjoyed! They asked me to sign the hearts they made, and some students wrote a message to me and gave me the heart they made!! ❤
It was a lovely exchange and I hope we can continue these connections when I have my classes start up in September!!
