Meanwhile, in Pavarotti …
In San Lucas Toliman, students in middle school in the Pavarotti Education Center are in Primero, Segundo, and Tercero Basico. This is the equivalent of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. My schedule during my first week has been adjusted around the schedule of the students who begin school at 7:20 a.m. (similar to the U.S.).Continue reading “Meanwhile, in Pavarotti …”
