Today began our second week with our Brazilian guests. They have had many adventures already (including "boot scootin" at Billy Bob's Texas) but this week will hopefully be even more exciting than the last. We wanted our guests to experience a variety of classes on our campus so today they joined a PE class for yoga and one of the most popular art classes, Fused Glass.
Later in the day, some of the students met with representatives from one of our educational partners, GeoWhiz, an online virtual platform which teaches young people about countries and cultures. Our guests provided feedback to GeoWhiz about their impressions of the platform - it was really fun to give input and even more fun when our guest, Thais, was able to solve one of the online puzzles that no other student tester has been able to solve! Of course, our Brazilian guests are not only fun, they are really intelligent as well!
Our Monday ended with a special celebration for our Brazil delegation - a bowling party! They were joined by some of their UA host sisters as well as some of the members of the GAGA (Girls Assisting Global Awareness) club. Today was also Ms. Ross' birthday so there was much to celebrate. All in all, it was a wonderful beginning to our second week together!
