I had a good time with the
children in Jones School and in Kiddie Kampus.
Ms. Fess, 8 nursing students and
I went to Jones School on a community health program. We worked with pupils of the
first grade and kindergarten children.
The pupils were so lovely. On the walls
of the school, there were many pictures drawn by the pupils there.
The nursing students talked to
them about how to eat and drink healthy, encouraged them to drink much water, taught
them to do physical exercises and had some games for them.
The pupils asked many lovely
questions and said funny things. When the nursing students asked them to do
physical exercises, they asked the pupils to touch their heart to see if their
heart beat faster. Some pupils said yes, and one pupil said “No. My heart doesn’t
beat!” Three adults laughed a lot!
They were very excited to do
physical exercises!
When the nursing students gave
each pupil a bottle of water and encouraged them to drink water every day, they
asked many unexpected questions: “What is water made of?” “What is there in the
water?”…
I also had some activities with
the children in Kiddie Kampus. Most of them are 4 or 5 years old. I taught them
a Vietnamese song about numbers, but it was hard for the children to remember
the Vietnamese words, so I translated the song into English, and they could
sing it easily. Some children said they could speak Spanish, and they said “Hola!”
Some talked about their shoes, their shocks, their sisters…
I read a story, got them to color
the pictures and had some games. One boy liked blue and used only blue to color
his picture! One girl insisted to color only pictures of Tom and Jerry. Another
girl didn’t like the crab and didn’t want to color the picture of the crab! How
lovely they are! I love them.
Last weekend, I had a chance to visit Root Glen Garden in Clinton town. It was so beautiful, and the weather was so nice. There were flowers everywhere in the garden. It was very much like Da Lat City in Vietnam.
