Experiences during February 1st- 6th

The students of IBS usually get the opportunity to go on trips. They all enjoy it and are waiting for it! That´s what happened February 1^st to 6^th, unfortunately not all students had the opportunity to go because of different reasons. We had the chance to interview some of the students that stayed in the city of Siguatepeque.

All students had negative expectations since the moment the science Spanish teacher, Marisol Nolasco, told them the work they had to do. They had to do a Periodic Table of Elements in big sizes, teach the kinder kids, do a wooden rack for laboratory, and an expositive presentation about a specific topic. It was a lot of work, so it made every student create their own expectations of what was going to happen. Tamara Tobar, 9yh grade student, said “All my expectations are that it will be boring, having to work a lot, and staying after school to finish the work!” We could see all the nervousness and fear they had of the work. But just as Tamara, all the other students had similar expectations: “It will be boring, horrible, and to much work” said Nicole Leiva, 9^th grade girl too. Unfortunately their expectations were right, and they confessed “the only good moment they had was Friday 5^th, when they finished teaching the kids and got some candy. That day didn’t had chance to finished all the work so the decided to come the next day at 8:00 o’clock of the morning and after 9 hour of hard work they leaved to their houses with the work finished.

Well, as you see all students has a tuff week, but with a good reward 25 points and the opportunity to learn, teach, and have a great time with their other classmates.
