At almost every school in Ecuador, they start the year off by having a play day where everyone including the parents go to watch the kids do a little program at their school. Ceara's school held one of these days which was an experience for us. Each class made a special shirt and paraded around the school. They voted on a princess and prince for their class and they wore their most formal clothes and were cheered on as they tried to decide the king and queen of the school. They all won in the end but was fun to see them all dressed up nice. The parents had to sell food one the day and I got to serve desserts for about 30 minutes during that time. It was good to meet some of the other parents and to help in some way at her school. As well, a few classes choreographed a danced and performed for the parents. Ceara's class did a little performance and it was lots of fun watching Ceara as she loves to dance. If you want to see the video check it out on our flickr site. It was definitely a cultural experience for us and fun to see Ceara interacting with her friends at school.
