Voluntariado en la Escuela

Stardate 63846.2 y 63865.4
14:30 - Todos los Miércoles, mis amigos y yo visitamos a la escuela para niños. Nosotros fuimos a la escuela enseñar Inglés. Caminamos con Janiva. Los niños les gusta su clase Inglés. En la primera día, los niños aprendieron acerca de animales y la cadena alimentaria en Inglés. La segunda día, aprendieron acerca de adjetivos en ingles, hecho un proyecto arte, y leyeron muchos libros. También, en Viernes, Nayibe, José Pablo y yo enseñaremos niños pequeños; tienen cuatro o cinco años. -- Every Wednesday, my friends and I visit a school for kids. We go there to teach English; we walk with Janiva because the road is pretty sketch. The kids like their English class. The first day, the kids learned about animals and the food chain in English. The second day, the learned about adjectives in English, made an art project and read many books. Also, on Friday, Nayibe, Jose Pablo and I will teach little kids (about four or five years old). On a side note, it is a really cool opportunity to practice Spanish and see what public education is like in Costa Rica. Many kids in our host families go to private school, but there are a lot of parents who can't afford that. Even more interesting is the dependence of the economy on learning English. Those who know English get better jobs, and only the private schools have decent English programs. It can't really be said if there will be a big gap formed by this handicap, but it certainly will not help the current disparities.
