We are suffering from blog fatigue so for the next four weeks, each of us will take turns posting. Emma volunteered to go first.

My Crazy Week – by Emma
(this is something Emma wrote for the blog in mid-October that never got posted)
At school I am learning about how important it is to NOT waste electricity. In mathematics I am learning geometry. Yesterday I worked on a painting project at an after school program. This week school got cancelled because my teacher had a meeting. On the long weekend I went to the opening of Santa Isabel school
(for Aileen's work).

Cuate (our new puppy) has a new puppy friend and her name is Pelusa. Daddy got a bike and I can ride on it with him by sitting on the bar so we ride around town a lot. If you have NOT seen me on Facebook I will tell you right now I made a video of a song for my Mom and Dad’s anniversary.
My School – by Emma K.
(note: this is from a project that Emma is doing with her classmates in Nicaragua and the USA)
In my school it is more noisy then the San Francisco School. Recess is not as calm. In my classroom it is very noisy and people are always running around the classroom bugging other people. School is noisy but there are lots of very nice friends. I have two best friends, Janyn (Yanin) and Carlos a girl and a boy.

School is orange and white but the orange is orangeish-yellow. It is NOT like San Francisco School and is made of concrete. There is a big open space in between the buildings and that is the yard. It is pretty big but not as big as the San Francisco School yard. The power and water always go out and because of that we have a water tank as you will see on my map there is a circle and that is the water tank.

Emma's School |
School starts at 7:30. In the mornings we sing the national anthem and the education anthem. We have three subjects, Spanish, Math and Civics. Recently we have been studying nature and Nicaraguan money. Sometimes we have PE or music but not so much. School ends at 12:15.

To Emma - please translate the education anthem to me in English.
