Most of my kids were absent today for some reason. I asked around but no one seemed to know why. I decided to go help in my roomates classroom of pre-schoolers. We did a little finger painting and made some cards for Fathers Day. I was suprised at how well behaved the younger kids are. The pre-school is a little bit more structured than Deporte y Vida and the two sisters that taught the class had everything under control. We sang songs and introduced ourselves. I introduced myself as "jota be", which is JB in Spanish, and they all really loved it. It was nice talking to the two Peruvian sisters and watching them teach the class. Now I can see why people make the career choice to become pre-school teachers, especially with these poor children.
A few of my girl students showed up later in the morning and came up to the pre-school to get me. They took me down to a small arts and crafts room and we started to sew some small aprons. I worked for 10 minutes trying to thread the needle before a 7 year old girl came and did it for me on her first try. Obviously this wasnt her first time sewing. We worked on the aprons for about an hour before it was time for them to go to school. We will finish up tomorrow.
