So... I am not so good at this bogging thing. We have been home for a few days and I do realize that this blog came to a screeching halt. No worries. I will have it complete in the next week... or so.
Day 4
Today was a full day with the kids.
I taught Science.. the life cycle of a butterfly. We read the very hungry caterpillar in Spanish and English. We also did a craft project with pasta. Tiny pasta for the egg, rotini for the caterpillar, shells for the chrysalis, and bowties for the butterfly. So fun!
Jeff taught English. He covered body parts, clothes, and read a Biscuit book in English and Spanish.
We had a couple of swimming sessions. We had trouble keeping track of Sam in the water, he looked like most of the Nica kids!
There is also a playground at the camp that the kids get to hang out on. See-saws, swing, jungle gym, etc.
We watched Alladin at night and the kids loved the sidekick characters!
Julia is being such a big help, stepping up and doing whatever is needed. The girls LOVE her. They keep coming up to me saying... "You are Julia's Mom!"
Nate is hanging out with the kids and making some friends, Engel and Daniel in particular. They all like to collect rocks and are trading, no need to speak the same language for that!
Sam has also bonded with some of the American high school guys. They are playing a lot in the water and having some deep discussions in the hammocks. So cute!
We are all tired, but confident that the kids are learning and felling the love of Christ through us!
