Trading traditions and Learning Exchange

It is a short week this week due to the Easter holiday. The students took and did well on their therapeutic play exam yesterday so we thought we'd have a little fun this morning. We explained the Easter Egg hunt concept to them this week and they thought it was so funny. So this morning we started class at our house. We took small bunches of jell beans (thanks Mom!) and wrapped them in tinfoil into egg-like shapes and hid them all around the yard. They had a blast - very funny really and I think we found them all so we don't have any goat casualties later!



One of the other teachers had taught the students a T'ai chi routine which is how we start class every morning out under the mango trees. They've been asking me about teaching them a new routine but since I don't know any T'ai chi I taught them a yoga moon salutation. Quite funny at first but now they are quite good.



It's really wonderful to share stories and traditions of culture. They have taught us a lot about raising children and culture around kids here. Gives us better perspective for teaching for sure. They have also continued teaching us provebs, not all of which I'm sure I really understand.

Today's was:
Nan tan' grangou patat pa gen po - in times of famine the potatoes have no peels
Something about being grateful for everything you have ...thank you all for your continued support and prayers.
