This girl's name is Xiamara...and she is reading. Some days they have reading classes for the kids and bring in a bunch of books to choose from. As you can see, she chose to read Pollito, a Peruvian classic haha. I always like these days because reading kids books is great practice for my spanish and I'm usually the last one reading in the class. The kids can pay attention for about one book and then they're off doing something else but if I'm in there reading with them they're able to pay better attention so I try to stay as long as possible. I think Xiamara is 8. It's sad because you can tell she has a lot of problems outside of the school and for some reason a lot of the kids don't like her. All I can do is be her friend for a few hours a day and try to give her some of the attention she needs.
