Teaching in Saboga

Tuesday morning we rode the ferry to get to Saboga only having an hour rest before going to teach. The first thing Gabi and I did was introduce ourselves and give out name tags. We then went around the classroom and had them all say " hello my name is" before giving them a worksheet to do that would help us get to know them better. Gabi and I separated into small groups I got the young r kids and they were a little wild but extremely fun to hang out with.

On the second morning we started to walk towards the school on the hiking trail when someone with a golf cart offered to give us a ride. We got there early and the kids immediately ran to us and dragged us into the classroom. We still had a few minutes before we had to start teaching so I played games with them. When there break was over the first thing I did was teach them numbers but they already knew one through ten so I taught them up to twenty. I handed out the number erasers I had and before they got there's they had to tell me what number I was giving them. We then moved into colors, we had a sheet with a few colors on it and decided to teach them a song to help them remember some of the colors. We then gave them a color by numbers coloring sheet that took them a while to complete. A few of the kids finished early so I decided to teach them a hand game called avocado. I was super sad when I had to leave. We got back to the house and took a walk along the beach, climbed rocks and went swimming.

The third morning of teaching we had to leave at eight so we could see them put on a performance for us. The drums for the performance got stuck on Contudora an island near by. We eent do to there class and taught them how to do crafts and taught and played games with the kids. They took us down to the soccer area and we played soccer for a while. Finally the drums arrived and they performed for us. I thought it was really fun and every time they made two mistakes they had to run up a hill and back. We got home and chilled for the rest of the day.
