Teachers Day and the Military Base

Last Monday was Teacher Appreciation Day in Poland.  The fourth class and there teacher were in charge of putting together a performance for the rest of the school.  I am not completely sure what they were saying but I know that it was about the recipe for a perfect student.  They did an amazing job.  The presentation was set in the future and students dressed as robots.  It was really cute.  Then at the end they thanked all of the teachers and then translated the thank you into English for us so that was a thoughtful touch.   

Then we were showered with flowers and chocolates.  It was incredible how generous the students and their parents were.  After the performance everyone got ready for a field trip to the Military Base.  It was a really gorgeous day so it was great to be outside but the whole field trip was a bit uncomfortable.   

 We walked around and attempted to keep all of the children together while booths with sniper guns, handguns and other various types, lured them.  All of these booths encouraging our “sweet” children to pick up the guns, look down the scope and inevitably point it at someone.  Therefore it ended up being a day where Kayla and I continually were taking the guns away from children and moving them to the next station as well as talking to them about why we don’t point guns at our friends.

After walking around to these booths the students got to go and try on drunk goggles.  The kids really enjoyed this and then we ended the trip waiting around a paved area for some people to parachute out of a plane.
