Today was the final day of the spring
English program. As usual, the kids had an absolute blast learning vocabulary and
playing games related to the theme “Easter” and “animals”.
We started off the first period with some fun story time with Ms. Jenice as she read an Easter-related picture book to the kids. We practiced how to count from one to ten, while we also learned some terms and words related to Easter. As a class, we also tried to spot all the hidden Easter eggs illustrated in the book.
Then, we did a small Easter egg hunt inside
the classroom where the kids had the time of their lives trying to find all the
hidden eggs inside the tables and under the chairs. One boy was so excited he
didn’t even realize he had banged his head on the table. Clearly, the kids had
an incredible time hunting for all the eggs.
Finally, the kids enjoyed their final
moments with Ms. Jenice as they wrote an Easter card to their families. Their
artistic skills were on point and I was stunned, as the cards were filled with all
sorts of different, unique, and beautiful color combinations.
Second period with Ms. Monica began with
the kids learning how to introduce themselves in front of people. We learned
how to say simple phrases like “My name is” and “I like”, and it was clear the
kids were getting the hang of speaking English in front of a large group of
people.
After practicing to say our own names and learning
how to introduce ourselves, we did a little doodle quiz where one of the
leaders (it's me!) volunteered to draw some pictures on the whiteboard and the kids tried
to guess the illustrations in English. Honestly, the pictures were illegible, but
that didn’t stop the kids from guessing what was written on the board. Their
guessing skills were unbelievable.
Lastly, we did a small animal Bingo game
where the kids glued their preferred animals on a nine-grid Bingo sheet, and
played a short Bingo game. The kids had a blast filling in the Bingo sheet, and
it was great to conclude the class with a small, fun activity.
I, too, had the best time ever.
