Today we saw a lot of monkeys and sloths and had an adventurous end to our trip. We will let the students tell you more about the day when we get back. For our blog tonight we thought it would be fun to give you the chaperones top highlights from the trip. They are in no particular order. We hope that this list will lead to further conversations between you and your child. Enjoy!
- Taking pictures...especially of the monkeys
- Empanada runs
- 6 sloths
- We studied science at the Biomuseo
- Snorkel face
- The 5 of us doing room checks together. Ask students about the ninja room checks.
- Kayaking
- Watching the students laugh and enjoy the trip
- In Chitre we had a middle school dance after dinner
- Feeding and milking the cows
- Canal quiz
- Jumping ove the Panama Canal
- The weird dinosaur noise that half of the girls make at each other
- Karaoke at dinner
- Monkeys on the boat
- Watching new friendships develop

Abby said that Gabe was a fantastic tour guide, probably the best she's ever had! And Raul was a fabulous bus driver. I can't believe the week is up! It has been so wonderful to read about the adventures. We can't wait to see everyone tomorrow and hear more in person. Thank you, to all the chaperones, for taking care of the kids and facilitating such a tremendous learning experience!

Oso really wants to meet the moneys hanging around the boat... wants to play in the trees and try to catch them. Hugs and kisses Marina!
