I don’t think I’ve mentioned before the latest and
greatest addition to ESD…our new volunteers Brendan, Rebekah, and their baby
Joella. For the past few months, they
have been coming a few days a week to work in the classrooms and on the
grounds. Brendan comes to my class in
the morning for vocabulary and reading classes.
Rebekah is a nurse, and she teaches health class to my boys. They are so hard-working and willing to do
whatever we ask of them. They are
learning sign language…fast. In fact, Rebekah
recently taught health (about the circulatory system) without an interpreter! Joella is five-months old and is
adorable. And my favorite part…she gets
to hang out in my classroom while her mom and dad work around the school. On Friday, Kristian had math class with
Joella on his lap!
Okay, now that you have the background…on to the blog…
It seems that I often write about Friday story time. I guess that just shows how much I love
it. This week, we had a treat. On Wednesday, I asked Brendan if he would work
with Kristian to plan story time. He
willingly agreed and ran with the idea. Watch
the video for yourself…(if you listen carefully, you can hear me interpreting
it---also, Brendan is wet because he was attacked by water balloons shortly
before)
Then, Brendan and Rebekah further topped all previous
story times by bringing in homemade cupcakes and icing for the kids to
decorate. They had so much fun!
