Tuesday afternoon I got a chance to read to some of the older kids. We are looking for the unique ways that a team from the US can serve at the school and the teachers all felt that if we were able to spend time speaking and reading with the kids it would be a great help with their English skills. These kids are pretty good readers already so this was a chance to work with them a little bit on their pronunciation of some of the blended sounds (th, ph...). So I read a phrase then pointed to a child to repeat it. If they struggled some then we repeated a few times. This was a lot of fun and would quickly get loud as all the kids kept jumping in with the child I picked. So we laughed a lot and I would shush them all, have them sit back down again and continue reading. Later in the day I learned that we were heard in other classrooms. Oops!
If you've been enjoying the photos, I managed to upload a handful here:
I like the look of you in there Mark. Is it ok to say I like that you were so loud you disturbed the other classes? Great you were having that much fun!
