As you may have guessed, the strike is pretty much over. Don't ask me what that means because I'm not exactly sure. But from what I understand, almost all of the schools are back to work and have started their school year {nearly a month after they were supposed to}. There wasn't a complete settlement- but the government is going to provide English classes for all teachers for the next two years. After two years, they will be expected to teach 33% of their school day in English. Major props to these teachers.
Our first week of work went smoothly! We're each working in two different schools. Will works in two schools with 3rd and 5th graders, in both. I'm working in one elementary school and one high school with all different ages. Not speaking Spanish presents a few challenges, but I'm excited to give it all a try this week. We'll see how it goes :)
More pictures and details to come once we have internet. Other than that, a trip to Ibiza for Halloween may be on our horizon...!
