First day of school!

We are super excited to have kicked off our first day meeting at school! Students arrived promptly to start classes at 9am. Today, we had to give the entrance exam that we will also give at the end of the program to measure our students' growth in Spanish during their stay.  After the morning exams, students took a break for snacks and we resumed with an introduction to our on-site coordinator, Patricia. Our students enjoyed a one hour break getting to know each other some more and sharing their experiences with their host families so far. We spent the last part of the day going discussing our farewell show and our site magazine that is prepared by the students.
