Yesterday was our first day interacting with the children! Sarah the director asked the group not to approach the children but to allow the children to come to us!!! Well my group had this marvelous plan that we could do a few finger plays and they would come but every good teacher knows that the best idea we have hardly never goes well!!! It figured out a while back that those activities that we come up with on the spot be the best opportunities to get to know the children and it strikes their interest! Im not the best singer at all but I just started singing one of the songs I used to sing when I was a lead teacher in the toddler room! Its called all the little fishes!! Well one child came over and by the end of round two I had an audience of 8 to 10 little smiling faces!!! I must have song 15 songs I had that groups attention for over an hour!!! It was very cool because one of the teacher came over periodicly and would sing the songs in English and would try to learn the song if it was new to her! Then we did books how fun for the children to point to various things and say the words in spainsh some words I understood and others I didnt but the children were able to pick up the words in English very well!!! Then there were circle time the children did typical date, counting all of this in English and spanish then my group did mr thumpken and we did old McDonald!!! The childrens expressions looked very confussed!!! After all of the the teacgers needed another song so I jumped in and sung all the little fishes and if your happy and you know it what a hit because lots of movement I HAD A BLAST! That moment gave me validation that this is my passion to be with children and touch their lives in some kind of way such as this!
