Daily Report for Sunday, April 5th (Group A)

Many of my English II students have decided to join us on this trip to Cambodia, even though they are missing 3 days of classes and a 2-3 page essay on Autism. In exchange for skipping that assignment, I decided to offer my students write daily blog reports on what kind of things we were doing in Cambodia. We actually will present two reports of today, being that the group that visited Wat Preah Yesu split into two groups: one that primarily focused on teaching and entertaining kids in classes, and another that focused on painting a few houses on the campus. This report, from Jane, is about the teachers.

I started today with the sixth grade, it was our first class to teach. They were smart but clever. We first sang songs to them, they were go with motions. We had trouble with the games at first, but later on we found that we just need to make it fun and easy to understand.

Next, was the fifth grade, This is one of my favorite age of this trip. They were interacting with us, and we had fun playing the games. Their math teacher taught us a new game which is called two plus one. It's so fun and tired but I am so going share this with my friends back. They sometimes cheated on the game but most of them were very fair with the games. I love them so much.

We even went to library to stayed with the kids, they don't have that many of books but they love it. I was reading to a boy at first, but then I realized that he could read on his own. He doesn't understand the meaning of the word but he could pronounces the words. Very hard working of them. Now I feel like I should study more; I have all the resources and the educations that are given.

Last, I just want to say something for this one day of teaching. They don't have much of games or things like computer or Ipod, but they are much happier than we are. For their face when they are playing the games, the face of enjoying and and thankful. Now I wonder do we need that much for our life? This fits in our topic for the worship today: "Remember... early things will fail/disappoint, but God is forever." For them families, friends, school, and God are they have. However, they are thankful and faithful to these.
