Red Bank Teaching Day - Jessica Buck and Emily Busch

Good Evening! Today was our second day at Red Bank School. The children are so sweet, and always have a smile on their faces! Each day we are learning more about their culture and they are asking many questions about ours! Each day our lessons are getting better and better because we are getting to know our students and the way they learn. The students try very hard during the lessons and are involved in the learning activities that we have planned for them.

 Even though the heat is very different from what we are used to, the day flies by. We are very engaged in our lessons and playing with the students during their frequent breaks.  We don’t realize how fast the time passes. We are enjoying the breaks because it gives the students time to get up and moving, and gives us more time to get to know our students. We are already bonding and building relationships with the students.

Our second day went so smoothly due to the support we are getting from our professors/ math guru’s! We have ideas in our heads on how to present the content to our students, and they help us put it into action. We have many ideas for tomorrow and after tonight’s planning session, we will feel even more prepared for Day 3!

We have thoroughly enjoyed our daily trip to Ming’s Superstore to gather our essential ice cold drinks, ice cream, and other snacks. There is nothing better after being in a hot school building than buying a cold coke made with sugar cane!
