August 25, 2011 (Teaching)

Actually today is the Lebaran holiday but we told the kids to come today so that we could be closer. We were afraid, if we make today a holiday, the kids will forget about our name thus we don't want to start introduction all over again. Surprisingly, today the number of students have increased drastically! When I first came, I was so shocked and I became so nervous as I'm afraid if I can't handle all of them. There are around 15-20 kids that came. It's a good thing that Kendisha came to help. We split the kids into 3 groups --> 1st- 2nd grade, 3rd-4th, 5th-6th. I'm in charge of math grade 1-2. I start off with some introduction and started to get to know each others names. It was pretty hard to remember their names and I feel really bad if some of the kids actually realize that I don't remember their names. We read books and do some exercises. they seem to really enjoy drawing and coloring.
