As mentioned previously, I pledged a day to help at the New Hope school. They break the day into 2 parts, they have a class in the morning 8- 11.30am and then a different class for another set of students 2-5pm.
With the first class, it was their very first day, and they were given a new backpack each, and the kids would wear it even at playtime. Very cute! We sang the ABC song and wheels on the bus.
At the break times, the kids wanted to be lifted and spun around, I was exhausted by the time it was home time. I’m glad I did it though, one of the highlights for me was making one special boy smile! The teacher mentioned to me that she was worried about him and that he might be suffering from neglect. She said he hadn’t smiled all week. By showing him a bit or attention, he smiled, laughed, and I even got a hug at the end!
