It’s wonderful to continue to receive invitations to share
health classes in the kindergarten in San Vicente. So, one of the teachings
from the “Carnival of Health”, the “Nutrition Train” was packed up and taken to
six kindergarten classes during November. What a commotion as all the students moved
around the classroom during the skit while learning about food groups. Even the
shiest ones are drawn into the non-stop activity. I especially like when the
teachers reinforce what they are currently teaching the kids. One teacher used
the lesson to focus on the beginning letter of each food group while others
used the opportunity to strengthen the kids’ knowledge of colors. At the end of
the day, it was rewarding to have the principle asking us to bring more
educational “FUN” into the school. She suggested several topics that she would
like developed and encouraged us to also create lessons that could be presented
to the parents.
Pray the “Carnival of Health” educational program remains a
way to not only instruct elementary aged kids in healthy behaviors, but to also
grow a positive presence in the local. Please pray too, that we can respond to
the principle’s request by carving out time to develop new materials that can bless
the students and build stronger relationships with the teachers as well as
parents.
