About a month ago we had a large event on a Sunday at school called Día Típico. Basically each grade represents a department from Honduras and is responsible for making a choza (hut) to represent their department. Lots of bamboo, palm branches, sticks, and even clay to make authentic wood burning ovens are brought in. Parents from each grade work together to make a hut like structure in which food typical of their region will be served. Also, one student from each grade has to wear the typical dress of that region and answer questions to judges that come around and give points to each grade for their huts, food, decorations, and representative student. This event was great because us teachers basically had to do nothing but come in and enjoy it. I banded together with Andrea and Stephanie and we walked around buying any food and juice our hearts desired and then went and shared them all. I probably tried about 8 different juices in the course of 2 hours. Talk about sugar overload.
