Grease-2

From August to November, I have been involved with the play at school, Grease. The performances were on the 8,9 and 10^th of November. In this play, I played the role of a dancer, and participating in this play I intended to know more about how people used to act, dance and how they were dressed in the 1970’s. I had a really good time experiencing a little bit the life of a teenager in the 1970’s. Overall the play made me not only learn it but live it. The play is finally over and here are some pictures of how my friends and I dressed for the play:

Dancing Lessons

Since next semester, I will no longer be helping in the Homework Club, my friend and I would like to start something new with the primary children. We were thinking about doing at once a month, or twice a month, during lunch give dance lessons to the primary kids. We would choose a song, design choreography, and at the lunchtime show it and teach to the children interested. I have already talked to the head of primary, Mr. Mcdurmad, and he believes it is a great idea and that when we come back from vacation I can schedule it right with him. With those dancing lessons, my aim is to put my leadership skill in practice by controlling many children at lunchtime. So I will know if I my leadership is being good enough, if the kids pay enough attention to me and properly learn the dance of the lesson. 

Homework Club

Every Thursday, from 15h50 t0 16h40, I have been helping in the Homework Club, a after school activity, the primary students. My first intention when I started doing this ECA (after school activity), was to improve my patience with younger with children. I am a very impatient person, and I thought that by helping them with their homework I had to put my patience to work while I helped them. And so far I think helping those kids do their homework really helped me, because it was not only a teaching and improving my patience activity, it was also a time in which I learned new things with kids. For example, while I would help them practice their spelling words, if I didn’t know how to pronounce it properly they would help me and I would learn something new. While talking to the kids, I would learn more about their different cultures and while helping them remind myself of things I studied a long time ago. So it would be a mutual learning every week. Today was my penultimate participation in the Homework Club, and I am already missing the kids that became a part of my life for a semester.
