Panama TPRS Conference (Day 3)
In French class we did readings and chapter 1 of “Pirates” by Mira Canion. It was very powerful to see how much confidence they got from reading. We have been listened to “Je ne regrette rien” by Edith Piaf every day. By today everybody was snging it and telling me that they had it running through their heads all night long. I love the way music creates a “din in the head” for language learners.
In the afternoon Patricia’s team took care of training again so that Blaine, Mike Michael and I could continue our tourist experience. Today we went to the rain forest. We went to a zoo to see some of the Panamanian animals. Due to the heat, we were grateful to stop at a fancy resort that overlooks the river for a drink.
On the way home, Michael was pretty sure that he saw a fer de lance snake in the median of the highway. In the evening, Patricia hosted a dinner and a celebration party. Because Mike Ross will leave tomorrow morning, we needed to have the celebration tonight!
