Model School

Hey guys,

Just a quick update on model school and how it's going so far.
Ashley and I taught the oldest group of kids for the first three days, there were a group of 14 girls ages 15-17 years old. We did activities for the majority of each 45 minute class. Our main objective was to get the girls up and talking and working together. We focused on this each day using activities like having the girls come up to the front and write down their "dream job" on the board, as well as a listening activity, where we took out specific words from John Lennon's song "Imagine" and had them fill in the blank words using the word bank we put on the board. We got mostly positive feedback from our peers with a few helpful tips, that we were sure to implement the next day. We have the 10-12 year old age group tomorrow, we are excited and nervous! But lesson planning for us has been relatively quick and painless so far, but as PST is winding down, we are definitely feeling the fatigue from the last two months.

I am so happy that each day I get the opportunity to try something new, something excited, and something that I have never done before. This Peace Corps thing is headed in the right direction!
