=FIRST GRADE!=

====The first graders, although the youngest out of all the grades we taught, had a profound interest in the Mexican culture, especially the dancing aspect. They were very eager to answer our questions-so eager, they kept calling out. We repeatedly had to tell them to stop talking. They wanted to show us what they knew and they definitely did! They were fascinated with the slideshow and the world map and with everything we showed them. The first graders were very bright at their young age and it was very surprising to see that they had such a huge thirst to learn and to show off their knowledge. The world would be a different place if us highschoolers could act that way.... :D====

Dennis was once again performing his dance to the four directions with the help of Dylan and Sylvia.

The kids were quiet during this time since they were busy coloring in between the lines. They had problems sharing their crayons :O



Our experiences: Sylvia: The first grader were alo rather tiresome. They had so much energy. They all wanted to answer the questions that it was hard to decide who to choose to answer the question. They seemed to enjoy the dancing although some of them ended up in the midle of the carpet wen they were supposed to be at the edge. I realize that my hope that teaching the younger kids would be easier, was wrong.
