This afternoon, the boys sat down to prepare for their upcoming summatives with Mr. Victor and Mr. Manuel beside them to offer support and to answer any questions they may have.
While the boys are being studious, we find it quite fun because it allows us to work parts of our brain that we haven’t had to use since we were in High School our selves!
What’s one way to go on an adventure without taking a single step?
Picking up a good book!
Reading is an immensely enriching experience that helps our boys explore new worlds, ideas and, of course, vocabulary.
Javier traveled to Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1965 with some greasers, Adrian made his way to Surrey Street in Plainview, Massachussets with the Wimpy Kid and I found myself in Alagaesia with a bunch of dragon riders.
Some new words from today’s reading include: antiquities, meteor, pacifier, dazed, archeologist and muttered.
As I unfortunately missed Halloween with the boys – which happens to be my all time favorite holiday! – I made up for it by taking the lads out this evening for a spooky evening walk in the woods near by.
We trekked down the road and headed into the woods, where everyone turned off their flashlights and set off on an a little dark adventure. We traversed tunnels, crossed bridges, sang some songs, stepped in puddles and got a little muddy, but what fun it was!

Loving that blurry aesthetic. Blurry smiles, but smiles nonetheless.
A little flash photography to ruin the night-vision they developed.
Our boys have returned brimming with energy, their spirits as vibrant as ever. This past weekend, the campus came alive with a whirlwind of activities, each corner buzzing with laughter, teamwork, and boundless enthusiasm.
Another weekend in the Concha Boarding House that starts in a sweet way: pancakes! 🤩🥞
Mr Tarun got everything needed to prepare the best pancakes the kids could have ever tried, from flour and milk to different toppings to make the pancakes tastier. While sitting around the table, we shared experiences and fun holiday stories. This is a nice way to connect with one another and discover new yet unknown aspects of each one of us. 😇
As you might know, in the Concha Boarding House we are a bunch of foodies. That is the reason why we are thinking of preparing a more Swiss-style food evening in the house… You will see, it’s on the works! 🤫
P.S.: By the way, it’s all of us in the house again! Rodrigo just arrived today from his autumn break. After having some lovely weeks of holidays between Mexico and the United States, he has enough energy to keep on being the brilliant student he was before the break! 💪🏻
Mr Tarun was so concentrated while making the pancakes!
Look at this crew! 🤪
