Lets Go on a HIKE!
The past three days at school has just been Jackelyn and I. Diane is very very sick, and staying away from the kiddos. This has been quite the test for Jackeline and I, but things are going great! Today, very last minute, I decided to take the kids on an adventure. Jackeline doesn't really like hiking or running or activities similar, so I was on my own! We went in two groups, so we each had half the class at a given moment. It worked out perfectly. Its much better to have only ten students in the class at a time, much more peaceful! I was so grateful that the kids actually listened to me on our adventure! We walked all over the farm, and down a very large hill. But the tricky part was getting back up the hill! Remember, things are a little different when you are 6,000 ft in the air. If I get winded, imagine how little three year olds feel. But I was so proud of them! I kept asking them if they wanted to go on, or return to school. They never wanted it to end.
The highlight of the hike today was that all the kids started pointing out colors...IN ENGLISH! For example the trees, "Green!" or flowers, "Yellow!" They have only had English class once a week for three weeks now...and they know about 4-5 colors and can recognize them and name them. That isn't too bad if you ask me. I think they feel quite accomplished. It is funny, most of them don't even know most of their colors in Spanish yet! :-) AND most of them can also count to five in English now too!
Poco a poco...little by little!
It was such a fun day, and I have some pretty amazing pictures to share!
Enjoying the beauty every chance I can get!
