Today is the fifth school day of the tour. Because schools in Argentina teach at least half the day in Spanish, I tend to be at schools
either in the morning or the afternoon, not both. Today I have three
performances beginning at 1:30, so I have the morning here in the
apartment. The school day runs until 4:30.
I've been having a grand time! So far, I've done fourteen shows at six
schools, for students ranging from age 6 to 12. The level of English
varies from school to school. Very few of the students so far have been native speakers of English. A few come up to tell me that they used to live in Florida or Connecticut. Of course, the younger kids generally
understand less, but the puppets help me on that score.

The children wear uniforms and often the boys and girls are seated separately. I was at an all-girls school on Tuesday and Wednesday--perfect opportunities to tell
Stephanie's Ponytail by Robert Munsch.
Here's a 2nd grader joining in on
Poor Little Bug on the Wall.
That's it for today. Off I go to work!
