Maya's Graduation Day
In
Costa Rica, the school year has ended. 'Summer" vacation
begins in December and lasts through early February. This is due
to the 'dry' season in the winter months versus the wet summer
months. This last week, Maya graduated from her kindergarten class
of 2002. The graduation was celebrated by a 'show' put on by the
students.
This
year, Maya learned how to read and write all of her ABCs and to
read & write her name and other simple words. School was from
Monday through Thursday from 8 to 11a.m. with about 30 minutes
of homework everynight. Maya shared the class with 2 other full
time students: Rosa and Alan. Maya's teacher, Debbie, is actually
one of our neighbors and a friend. She came here from San Francisco
about 7 years ago.
Although
school is offered in English and not Spanish, Maya has amazingly
been picking up Spanish. It's amazing to hear your daughter speaking
to strangers in a language you barely understand yourself!! Now,
whenever she learns a new word in any language, she always asks
"and how do you say it in English? Francais? Espanol?"
