Christine's Semana de Inglés

Last week was "English Week" for the country and in Antofagasta the major festivities were Tuesday, September 29th. From 9am-1pm there were presentations and performances put on at the local municipal building. My students performed at 10am. There were 9 students in total, 3 girls and 6 boys. They sang a version of "baby got back" but, of course, i completely changed the lyrics to reflect a song about colors. It was so cute! They were so nervous and excited at the same time.

CNN Chile showed up and did some interviews, as well as Malcriados, an Antofagasta TV show. Somehow I made the cut along with some others and we showed up on the Malcriados show. I have yet to see it.

Of course, the two boys hovering around the CNN Chile crew were my students. The boy in the red shirt is the same boy that gifted me a little blue stuffed dog that i wrote about previously.

All of us together after the performance.

Afterwards we went to the beach behind the municipal building to take some pictures with the students after their performance. Bad idea! A few of them started running straight for the water. All of a sudden, i see t-shirts flying in the air and pants around one boys ankles. (Proof below-haha)

One boy had started taking off all his clothes so he could go swimming! Fortunately he left his underwear on and we quickly made him put his clothes back on. It was hilarious though! Children are so free spirited!

Thanks for reading!
