Hey everyone! Just a quick update to say that everything went really well yesterday - almost 20 kids showed up! The power went out (not unusual, the power's usually out one out of every three days), so we couldn't show the movie and the kids were forced to be creative. Yay! We did puzzles, drew pictures, played some games, and read books! Well, really, they just looked at the pictures, but hey, books were open. The cook for the Refuge even made everyone crepey things with delicious delicious jelly! Also, more kids showed up today, so we've been doing more drawing and games. I told the kids that they could come in here anytime to get help with English homework and lots sounded interested, so I may be doing some tutoring as well. Hurrah!
Congrats, Maia! Sounds like things went as well as could have been expected. I hope you get some return customers!
ReplyDeleteGreat! Looking at books is the first step to reading along with reading aloud to them. Sounds like you have some interested kids there -- keep it up!!
