Hello everyone,
The Kids here at Villa De Guadalupe painted little bird houses . They used paint, glue, and craft sticks. Took them two days to finish, they did a good job and at the end of the day they were so happy they got to take them home.

Biola Village

This Monday was “WATERGIRL AND FIREBOY DAY” The challenge was to complete each one of the missions in the game, now this game requires two players “TEAM WORK, COMUNICATION, LEADERSHIP” so I asked the kids to pick a partner and it was really fun watching the kids compete against other teams, by the end of the day two teams were CLOSE to the end but it was already time to go so we couldn’t see what was the last mission, but we had a TIE.

Tuesday’s activity was to watch a movie “Ponyo” it was a suggestion from one of the girls and I got to admit I loved it, we loved it!  This movie is great for kids of all ages; it has a little bit of everything.  Here are some of the pictures the kids drew:

Wednesday activity was based on what the kids like to do on their free time, here we have a couple of examples and I personally was real impress with the different  personalities each one of the kids have, for example one of the girls that attends the After School Program enjoys doing “paintings” and she’s great at it!  Ooh she’s only 9 years old.  Here is some of her work.

Children like play Jenga because they like knocking it down.

Books: The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein- one of the children liked counting the apples. Another liked the boy and the tree.  But didn't like the boy becoming old.

One of the children liked the Zyathura book(read only part of it..) liked adventure part of it.Some of them watched Leo & Stich liked the ride and greeny.

One of the children read the Great Wolf & Woodsman.  They liked the wolf in the house and cutting bricks.

Another child read More for for me by Cindy Meltzer Klentez.  Here is what this child told me about it:

Sister I want more pushes the bowl I want more.  Wants alot more.  Crying washed dishes with big sister.  Scoops out beans.  Jumped out of  bed got dressed.  More on plate.  Wanted more toast.  His sister sneaking toast.  Then wanting more.

Also I had a couple of  children doing the USA flag-floor puzzle. They liked looking for animals on it. They finished putting it together; even if 2 pieces were missing. They liked doing puzzles.
