Did You Study?

I’ve been making tests all week. Mountains and mountains of tests and review sheets. I even made one for you. Let’s see how well you do….

Part 1: Circle the correct answer.

1. Which of these things did Tristinn hate to do before Costa Rica but now almost enjoys?

a) Walking around with shoes ALL the time

b) Waiting for hours in buses, for people, in line at the grocery store

c) Living with bugs all over the place

2. How long does it take Tristinn and Nickele to do their laundry?

a) 10 minutes of work

b) 20 minutes of work

c) 1 hour of work

3. How many months of fighting, begging, pleading and craziness do you have to go through before you have control of a classroom full of 4^th graders who speak a different language?

a) 3 months

b) Undermined – too many to count

c) 1 month

4. What is the best thing Tristinn has learned since living in Costa Rica?

a) Children are funny

b) Patience

c) People not things

1. B: I enjoy waiting now – it’s nice to just take it all in. As for the bugs, don’t mind them. The shoes I still mind.

2. C: When you have to rinse clothes by hand, put them in a centrifuge to spin, and then hang them up by hand, it takes a while.

3. A: After three months of experimentation, I can officially say that I can walk into class and not feel like the children are going to destroy me.

4. B: I’ve learned a lot in CR but the best thing I’ve learned and experienced is patience. Wanting patience is one thing, trying to have patience is another, but having to practice patience SO often and SO much that you actually get some is quite a feat.

Hope you got 100%
