John was leading his Soccer class on Monday. They are now preparing to play another pueblo team in the near future. He has about 6-7 kids that are pretty consistent and then the rest change every other week, etc. The kids now have this game in mind, so we will see how they recruit in the neighborhood to make sure they have a complete team. We will keep you posted on how the kids do.
Carrie and Serena were giving some one-on-one attention to some of our older students on Monday. The older kids are currently learning anything and everything around travel and transportation. So, they are getting to pick places in the world they would like to travel to and explain why.
The travel theme kind of goes along with our Fun Friday in Potrero last week called International Day. At this event, the kids were able to go from station to station (U.S., France, Japan, Australia, Africa, etc) and get stamps for visiting the country with their Passport. It was a huge hit and here's a cute link for the Hollywood station: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPZcrfYT6C8&feature=youtu.be
On Wednesday, the kids learned 'L' is for Lion. It's funny...each week we review what they learned in previous weeks. When we went over 'J' is for Jump, we had lots of jumping activities for the kids. So, now every time we are going over past weeks...we always have to start jumping around for the letter 'J', at least we get a work out!!
On Thursday, Ashley (another volunteer) led a bracelet making work shop. The kids absolutely love beads and really take their time picking their colors and stringing them perfectly. Afterwards, we treated them to Popsicles in celebration of the end of the session.
I'll update you soon on our excursions over the 1 week break ....Vamos a Granada, Nicaragua!!
