Our routine has become to first check our e-mail, respond to those who have communicated with us. Today we taught our first class. It was English for the 8^th grade group. It was more of a question and answer session. Students asked about many topics, including questions about our selves and our students' back home. Once we had our warm up session with the students, we did a basic world geography lesson, so students could use vocabulary they have learned in a real conversation. We had them draw the seven continents and the four oceans and label each in English. It was interesting how the class was actively willing to participate. Even thought this is not their native language, we had a high degree of communication. At the break we had students who were too shy to speak in front of the group ask us questions. We will return of Friday with pictures from home and school. We have the yearbooks from both schools to share with them.

The fifth grade English teacher asked us to preview their Halloween program. The American holiday of Halloween is becoming very popular in Armenia. The students were practicing for their program on Friday. After the program the students were going to go trick and treating around the school.

So far most of our contact with students has been in the computer lab. There are four work stations for the entire school. Students must take a test and join the computer club to gain access to these computers. The goal of the program is to have students teach students and to increase the number of computer literate students in the school. Currently they are working on creating a web page for the school. Student collaboration is important in insuring that this project will be a success.

After spending the afternoon in the computer lab we left for the day and walked past the American Embassy on our way to the Hotel Armenia to leave a message for a friend from Chicago who is in Yerevan.
