Today we split into two groups and some went back to the prison and the rest went to a middle/high school to teach English. The highschool has 2000 students so the group split into five small groups. We taught grade 8, 10 & 12. Brent was asked to take 9 students and teach them about Halloween. Donna had a group of grade 12 students who spoke very good English. This school is well known for promoting English and wins English competitions. All of the teachers spoke very good English, which Stacey said is quite rare. The class sizes are around 45 students so it was a bit intimidating but lots of fun.
The group that taught at the school went back to the church in the evening to teach a group of adults and small children. Word got around and this night we had 32 kids and over 20 adults. The church is out in the country so there are a lot of BUGS. Donna said at one time she looked at her feet when she was in the church and they were all black (she thought they were dirty from not wearing shoes) NOPE... they were covered in bugs. We all had bugs in our hair and clothes.
Lynn video tapped Brent teaching the children at the church the Hokey Pokey so that we can all watch in on the big screen at the Christmas Party. Honestly, he looks like Shrek it is hysterically funny.
When we get back you need to ask Donna to explain how she taught the students about Jack O Lanterns. We were so impressed at how Donna knew the history of a guy named Jack.... Hopefully they don't google it!!!
