Week 4 of Summer School

This week has been a busy one, yet an exciting week. We just finished up our first half of Summer School. It has been great so far.
Kinder

This week has been a great one. We have another child in my class. His name is Jesusito. He is 2.5 years old. He has no discipline, but is getting a lot better everyday. This week's theme was David and Goliath. It was great! They are learning how to count. Most of them know how to count to five now. Zuleika was sick so she wasn't here much, but she is better now. We are still learning the color red until all of them recognize it.

Craft time!

We are still learning how to crochet. Josue took some video of us crocheting. It isn't the best footage, but he enjoys helping any way he can. Robyn is teaching the kids to make jewelry. Eventually she wants to be able to sell it on the internet to teach them how to manage money.

Milagros loves crocheting!

This is my work so far! I never thought I would come to Peru and learn crocheting!

Rocio and Josue....he is a smarty pants!

Mirian helps us when Nanci isn't there or is late. She is really neat to be around!

Robyn teaching Maria to make a different kind of jewelry using seeds I think!

Juegos....Game time!

They are are still learning how to play UNO and Memory. They are really enjoying it!

The Older Group

We are learning how to play UNO. They have caught on really well and they know their numbers well too! Even though they are VERY energetic, they have been very obedient with me. Also, it is a rule when the children leave my class and go home, they need to ask permission if they can play outside. They have learned it quite well!

Franklin and Italo playing UNO.

The Younger Group

We have been playing Memory. They really love this game. Abel has a hard time with it, and Yerson doesn't want to play by the rules and cheat sometimes, but they are doing great! Brigette is really smart and has a great memory. If they choose to look at more than 2 cards they aren't allowed to play 2 rounds, but they still get to watch it.

Yerson, Abel, Brigette, and Isaias playing Memory.

Abel's turn....will he look at 2 or 3??

Brigette's turn....will she find another "caja"? (a box)

Isaias found a torta (cake), but where is that one I saw the last time?

Yerson......and why do you want a picture of this cute face??

Musica......aka music!

These are Joel and Hayley's students learning guitar. There are several students learning guitar, and most love it!

Joel and Abraham......jamming!
