Below is an update from Daniel Schutrum-Boward, our Summer Intern, who just taught his first English lesson yesterday. Check back for updates from Daniel throughout July!
Yesterday’s class, held at Sylvia’s home, was truly a success! Everth, Aura, and Belen all did an excellent job demonstrating what they have already learned in previous classes and that they are all eager to learn more. We reviewed basic phrases and delved into a few more difficult subjects. Hennessy and two friends spent the class time coloring and observing the older students.
On another note, Nicaragua has been very good to me so far! I took a little journey to Granada Sunday and toured the market. I’ve also been exploring the area around the hostel. I look forward to reuniting with the rest of the VISEDAL kids over the next couple of days!
Here are some updates from Daniel on the children he's taught so far:
Aura: Aura did pretty well. Her pronunciation seems to be pretty good. She took notes.
Belen: It took Belen a little time to get warmed up. She had a little trouble with pronunciation. She took notes.
Everth: Everth did very well. It seems like he already had a pretty sturdy foundation. He struggled a little with pronunciation. He took some notes.
Winny: Overall, Winny did very well. I could tell that she could understand and was absorbing the information but she became very shy when I would call on her. She took notes.
