Movies

The kids here are tired.  They have so many classes throughout the day all in English and it's exhausting!  Yesterday we played some large group games after lunch & it was awesome!  The kids were into the games and laughing.  It was so fun to see.  Then, we loaded them onto two buses and we headed out to our surprise activity (movie theater).  They were so excited.  Most of them had never been to a movie theater--can you imagine never having gone to a movie theater until you were a junior or senior in high school?  The only two places where you can go to a movie theater in Nicaragua are in Managua (the capital city) and Leon (a touristy/college town) and it's expensive.  So, this was a neat trip to take the kids on.  We all had a great time and watched "Johnny English" (Mr. Bean movie) in English with Spanish subtitles and ate some popcorn and treats :) 

The kids did a great job staying in line, keeping quiet in the theater (we threatened to take away their phones if we saw any lights in there haha), and the bus ride went well too.  I was impressed.  Taking 100 kids to a movie theater sounded a little scary, but we did it.
