Many Talents

Today we had our third day of English lessons at Reymontówka. Students were very excited to begin the lessons, as usual! Sara's group focused on reviewing letter names and sounds and identifying numbers in word, symbol, and picture form. Carol's students worked on using a calendar to identify the days of the week and months of the year. Lynn's class practiced their usage of question words, who, what, when, where, and why, while exploring outdoors with tools such as a flashlight, compass, ruler and magnifying glass. Lori’s class worked on words such as big, little, tiny as well as short and tall.

 For the last session, students gathered together in the tent for dancing. Most students enjoyed the Chicken Dance, Hokey Pokey, YMCA, Macarena, and Cotton Eyed Joe. Some of the children weren't as enthusiastic, but hopefully there will be more participation next time when they feel more comfortable with the songs and being silly in front of each other! Many of the older children were good sports and showed the younger children the dance moves.

 In the afternoon, the volunteers took a brief trip to Siedlce, where they explored the city, sipped coffee, and of course did some shopping!

That evening, everyone gathered in the tent for a Talent Show put on by the children. Many talented performers impressed the audience with their dancing, singing, and piano playing skills! The evening activities are quite entertaining and are sure to be remembered by everyone!
