A perfect day!
I can hardly believe this...but, I'm actually posting two days in a row....Yeahhhh! Today I just wanted to share that work was an absolutely perfect day! Of course, I only had 7 kids, and they are totally amazing and easy...I just LOVE days like that. I can see how much the kids are growing each day due to the smaller class size...it's so nice having time to visit one on one with each of them. And, I am in awe at how fast they are responding to my English...I hardly have to ask my assistant to interpret for them at all :D They even are starting to tell me how to say some words in Spanish. The more I work at Migrant Summer School, the more in awe I am at these precious children. I can't imagine what it must feel like to be in a strange room, everything new, nothing familiar, and listen to jibberish all day?!?! And, yet by the end of the four weeks (this year it's five) they are so confident and comfortable in the environment.And, I feel content knowing that at least when Kindergarten comes in a few weeks they will be more prepared, and ready to keep growing forward...! I just LOVE it when I see the spark in their eyes that they understand me....(just like I LOVE it when they come up to me and try to have a conversation with me in Spanish...they so want to reach out!) Today, it was funny on the playground two of the little boys (Emmanuel & Abel)kept coming over to me...I could tell they wanted to tell me something...they kept whispering back and forth to each other...and I knew the one (Emmanuel)was telling the other (Abel)..."tell her in English"...finally, Emmanuel steps toward me and said "We want to go inside now"!! It made me smile...and we did just that...we went inside! Oh, how I wish I could capture their smiles forever!!! So, today was a perfect day....easy and fun...just how life at 5 should be!!! I hope each of you had a perfect day too...Sweet blessings!
