Jaxon Stanger
Yurusti - Costa Rica Exchange Trip
The diet in Costa Rica is very vegetarian friendly, so Jaxon hasn't had issues with food. He likes a lot of Costa Rican food and snacks; he's sorely disappointed when they run out of Churros in the cafeteria.
Jaxon was placed in a fourth grade classroom due to space in the fifth grade classrooms. Costa Rican students begin their summer break on December 1st, so the discrepancy in what they're learning here compared to our fifth grade curriculum is very minimal.
Jaxon writes in his journal about his host family. He's very happy with all the events they plan for him. This weekend they spent time at a Hot Springs resort with several other families that are hosting Oklahoma students. He had a blast! I'm sure he will share all of his adventures with you in more detail when he gets home.
