Where has the week gone!?

WOW! Its Wednesday already and I can't believe it. What happened? Yesterday I spent about three hours in Special Education classrooms helping students with homework. The first thing I did was work with a student with Aspergers. I helped him with his algebra homework. I realized just how much math I have really forgotten. Then I went to a different classroom and read a test to a Hispanic student. That was cool, I was able to speak with him a little in Spanish. At the end of the school day I read the Cask of Amontillado to a group of 10th graders. After all of that, I was ready to be home and relax. Yesterday we finally got our passports in the mail so we can officially go to Mexico!

Speaking of Mexico...we have begun classes every other Tuesday night where we are learning History, Culture, and about the many places we will visit. In my next few posts I will let you in on where we will be going and give you some idea about what we will be seeing when we are there! Our first stop....Mexico City, Mexico for 4-5 days!

When we are in Mexico City this is where we will be staying

When we are there we will see all sorts of fun cultural things here are a few pictures of where we will go.

This is the Pyramid of the Sun, an Aztec Pyramid that we will climb to the top of

This is called La Plaza de Tres Culturas ancient Aztec ruins in the middle of the city

Basilica de Guadalupe

We will also Visit the Anthropology Museum in Mexico City

There is SO much more that we will see, so I will let some of that be posted when we have been there and we can tell you how we liked it!
