Wednesday: We are half way there!
Buenos Noches!
Let me first start off by saying, thank your for
all of your prayers and support. We have been having the most amazing time here
in the Dominican and we are all dreading the moment we have to leave. The kids
are starting to open up to us more and more, which has been incredible. We have
been able to really spend time with them on this trip and learn about their
home lives, what their dreams are, and if they know and love Christ. In the mornings we have been teaching our (art,
bible stories, recess/games, and the creation/science lesson) and they have
been going really well. Granted, it’s been hard at some points but we just feel
continually blessed. The kids have been learning
so much and we have all enjoyed getting to know them.
On
another note, the teacher’s classes have been great! Trish has been able to
work with the teachers on a new way of teaching reading to the students. In the
morning the teachers learn the methods and in the afternoon they apply them. So
we as a team help support the teachers in the afternoon by helping in their
classes. While the teacher may be working one on one with a student, to
determine their literacy skills, we work with the other students. It has been
great to see the methods that Trish has taught the teachers applied in the
classroom. We can’t wait to see if this new program will help raise the
students literacy schools and help support the teachers in a new way.
Tomorrow is
our last day teaching at the deaf school and then Friday we will go on a field
trip with them to the park. Please keep us in your prayers!
Love you all,
Katie
