Our students are in need of learning to treat others nicely. It's hard to break them of what they have learned, though. When grown men here "settle" arguments with violence and when parents or siblings abuse each other, what else should we expect. We do, however, expect them to learn to make good decisions with their hands during their year with us. Our teachers have taken to making books about how to use hand (or feet, or teeth, etc). Today Ashley's class was talking about hands and what they are for (throwing the ball, eating, painting, hugging, etc). After Ashley read them the book she made (see video below), they each traced their own hand to hang up in the classroom to remind them what our hands should be used for. Here are some pictures from the day:
Jeson tracing his hand
Miguel Angel, Yery, and Gustavo trace theirs
Escarlet shows off her work
Miguel Angel got marker on his hand...and then proceeded to cover both hands with blue marker.
In the front of the classroom they now have a visual reminder of how we are supposed to use our hands. "We can use our hands for good thing!"
