Telunas Reflections

    This is what I did. First we went on the ferry, then we went on the long boat to the school. When we got to the school we had a snack. Then we started teaching the kids what we have been preparing for the last 6 weeks. My partner and I taught them with matching the cards and guessing what the pictures mean in english. After we taught we had lunch. The students also danced for us and the boys did the drum ceremony. We had recess and then went on the long boat again to Telunas. We got a drink there to refresh us and Ms.H told us which cabin to go to. We got changed and we could go to the beach or the dock or both. Then we showered and ate dinner. We then had a bomb fire. We prepared a skit in our rooms with our travailing groups. Showed it at the bomb fire and then we told jokes and scary stories. We went and watched the stars and went to bed. In the morning we ate breakfast and then split half the group to go on the ropes course or swim. We would switch after and hour. then we went back on the long boat back to the ferry and went back home.

I learned that it was very hard to teach the kids english because they knew a lot of bahassa and sometimes they didn't get what my partner and I were saying to them in english.  

I felt very good because I now know how it feels like to tech the kids on the island. Help them speak which was one of my goals to do.

I worked on my goal by helping the children speak english and teach them by teaching them what we had made for the past 6 weeks.

Game Board

Image
In science class we made a game board. When you put the correct answer the light goes. One question, how does it work, how does the it light up when it is the correct answer and why? Well, I will tell you how. First you have to make a game board. Second to make the it light up you need a complete circuit . A complete circuit needs to have a voltage source, a path, and a resistor. In the picture it has batteries, the batteries are the voltage source . The voltage source is the measure of the push of electrons. Also, it has a light bulb. The light buble is the resistor. The resistor is in the middle of an insulator and he conductor. It also has tin foil which is a path. The path is for electrons to flow. I have all of this so, I have a complete path. I also have a current electricity . Current electricity is the flow of electrons thorough conductive material. With the tin foil I have tape on it. The tape is the insulator . The insulator so then it won't go into the other tin foi...

Service Learning Semester 2

     Today we read the The Lion and the Mouse  Aesop's fables. The theme of this story was friendship. Friendship can do anything because if you have friendship you can count on people that they are with you and count on them to be there. In The Lion and the Mouse  since the Lion didn't eat the mouse the mouse got away and when the Lion got trap and the mouse wasn't eaten the mouse saved the Lion. Friendship because if he ate the mouse the mouse could've never saved the Lion but it was friendship that saved the day.    I think that this connects to the Christalite Methodist home because the residents in the Methodist home and when we come it's a big thing for them because they don''t have children anymore. So when we make crafts or something I think it is friendship and just sitting side by side to each other.    Our class goals for our next visit to the Methodist home could me: Try to show our time more meaningful To try to ...
