Our First Day

Today was a big day for the students!  They spent the morning testing with Colleen, and then Amy and I met them right around lunchtime.  We spent class today getting to each other a bit better.  The students are enthusiastic and excited to be in South Dakota. 

Here are some pictures from our day:

One student, Daisuke, celebrated his 20th birthday today!  So, we sang "Happy Birthday," introduced him to the American miracle that is a DQ ice cream cake, and listened to his favorite Taylor Swift song:

It was a great first day, and we are all beat.  Tomorrow promises more adventures!

    I looked forward to that I could go to school today. But, there was a test so I was tense. Class was very fun. I laughed a lot!:) I look forward to class in the future, too. And I was glad to be able to encounter the host family of other students in a program picnic.
    p.s. Daisuke,Happy Birthday!!
