Hello all! I’m sure all of us here are feeling the same way- I cannot believe we have approached the final days of this incredible trip! We have grown not only as educators and professionals of this field, but also as individuals. I am grateful to have been able to share this opportunity and make memories with the amazing people on this trip.
As much as I have enjoyed all the sightseeing and exploring of Kathmandu, I have equally loved my time in my Grade 1 classroom at Sanskriti International School. Lately, we have been learning about long and short vowels, map making and finding our way back if we get lost, languages that we speak, and following directions. Currently, the children are working on addition using Legos (thanks again to Julian Cabales J).
Together, my teaching partner, Haley, and I have created journals for each of our students (50 in total!). With these journals, the children have the opportunity to practice their writing and drawing skills. On the first day of introducing these journals, my class was able to decorate their covers with their name and what they like. Their journal content focused around the idea of “pets”. They have written about:
- If they could choose any animal in the world, which one they would choose to have as a pet?
- How they would take care of their pet?
- What kind of dream house they would create for their pet?
- Where they would take their pet if they could go anywhere in the world?
They definitely enjoy writing about their imaginary pets and drawing/coloring them as well. It is great to see how engrossed they can get, and even more interesting to see what they come up with! I even have some students who will ask when we will be the next time we get to write in our journals, which fills me with delight! I have included some photos of us journal writing down below.
What a memorable experience it has been!
