The students of Primero seem to surprise me almost everyday! They are picking up a lot of useful English phrases and after only hearing it once are using it in class. It is music to my ears to hear "excuse me" "I am finished" or even just a "What?" The students are also piecing together sentences based on English vocabulary they know, so instead of just blurting out a story in Spanish there will be random bits of English! Since English class is right after recess, they come in telling us stories about which team won while playing soccer and who scored goals! It is a fun time to teach the students English without it being like class.
Before Christmas we will be having a pizza party! The children at a daycare in Falmouth, Ky wrote letters to the Primero students and sent us a package full of macaronie and cheese and pizza kits. So-- look for pictures at the end of the week!
Thank you for your commitment to these kids! Remember to pray for them daily-- your prayers are effective. Amanda and I have seen huge growth in all of the students, but especially in the students that we thought we would have difficulties with. Thank you and have a great time while celebrating with friends and family the birth of Jesus Christ this Holiday season!
