One of my activities is to work with some of the kids in the classrooms. Here I am with Kinder Dos helping Michele and Isaac trace shapes, colour them in, and then cut them out.
This is La Vía, the street where I live and where the school is located. Kids playing soccer in the street is not an unusual activity.
Above and Below: Every Monday morning we have a flag ceremony. From a Canadian perspective, the patriotism here is pretty incredible. I can remember singing the national anthem a few times a year in a school assembly and of course at every hockey game, but that's about as far as Canadian patriotism gets. The kids learn three different songs/pledges to the Mexican flag which we sing every Monday.
An every-morning activity: helping with breakfast for Kinder Uno. This particular child is Santi, one of the youngest at only two-years-old. He generally has a hard time concentrating long enough to actually get around to putting the food into his mouth. Making faces into the back of the spoon is much more fun.

And the kids on the bus go up and down, up and down, up and down! ("Arriba bajo, arriba bajo, arriba bajo") The last 15 minutes of every day are spent together in the courtyard with a story and a few songs. The Wheels on the Bus is always a classic...
Christmas is coming soon and the Buena Tierra is busy getting ready for the annual Christmas pageant. The kids are diligently learning the songs and the lines and rehearsals are becoming smoother and smoother. The big night is December 17th, which is also the last day of school before the break. Only a week and a half to go!
