This past week I worked mainly with the jovenes (young teens), assisting Victoria. The theme for the week was How to Be a Good Leader, and the intent to really encourage these young adults to stand up and take a leadership role in their lives at school and at home and at work (nearly all of them work at something.) After the lesson I worked with them on painting a namecard for a photo of their group for an electronic message exchange with my friend Norma's Spanish students at Chinook. This has been a big project, as when we began two weeks ago, none of these kids had email addresses. While we worked on helping them each obtain an email address, gmail's system (and Yahoo and Hotmail systems) would get suspicious of so many addressed being arranged on the same computers (thinking we must be spammers), and cut us off for the day! We learned to then switch to a different one....and eventually, I think now, nearly all the kids have addresses. I have typed them up, and sent them along to Norma last Friday. This coming week we will take the group photos with the kids holding their name card (clever how I worked painting into THIS activity too, no?), and send them along to Chinook as well, so the Chinook kids can see to whom it is they are writing!
The photos here include games the kids led for each other in their groups, plus of course painting....In one of the photos the game is "Deer, Hunter, Wall," a version of "Rock, Paper, Scissors," and another is something along the lines of "I love you but I can't smile for you," a game we have in "Los Estados" too!
