Our Warmest Day Yet Means Classes Outdoors



A Bright Sunny Time of Year For Outdoor Classes

We are finding that each teacher uses her Global Volunteers differently; today is a good example of that.  Some of us enjoyed the pleasures of interacting with groups of children, anywhere from 2 to 11 or more students. Four seems to be the best number for good interaction. Some of us were mostly observers with limited student interaction but learning along the students about the Victorian Era; while others were given free rein in their classrooms, a challenge to keep the kids engaged. 

For the first year students a good icebreaker was asking them simple questions about themselves.  All the students are a delight, warm and welcoming. Several volunteers are tutoring community members outside of the classroom and these experiences have been enjoyable for all.
