Today was the first day visiting and teaching the
children in the Garden Compound and I think I speak for everyone when I say it
was a very exciting experience. Working with these children really is so
different from what we are used to back home. They are so eager to learn and so
excited to have us come to teach them, just as we are excited to teach them.
The theme for the day was "alphabet." We
started the morning by making nametags for all the kids and singing songs.
Although there may be a language barrier, we have found that singing really
brings everyone together and is a great way to start their day. Next, we read
"alphabet" books, "Chicka Chicka, Boom Boom," being their
favorite. During snack, the kids loved having their pictures taken, as usual,
and seeing their faces on the camera when we showed them. Sometimes it's hard to
have to put the cameras away because they just keep wanting more!
Overall, teaching in Garden today was very fun, exciting,
and an interesting experience for some of our new travelers. Tomorrow we will
be going back and teaching colors!
