Library

I am happy to say that the library is coming along great.  The kids are so excited to have it open.  They rush to get there first to get the items they want to play with or read.  It is hard to say no to the kids that want to come in but it is not a big room so there can only be so many in at one time.  The kids know when it is there turn and try to sneak in when it is not there turn.  Kids are the same no matter were in the world they are.  My schedule basically is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Class (grade) 1, 2 and 3 each take a turn coming in over lunch for about an hour.  Half the time they spend playing and the other half reading.  Sometimes I will read a book to them or they will read on their own.  From Monday to Friday from 3:30 to 6:00 the library is open for class 4 to Form 4 (grade 12).  This is a busy time.  Uno and checkers is the wanted games for both young and old.  I play Uno with them and they take great pleasure in beating me.  They play checkers with some different rules but they beat me doing that as well.  We have dolls and stuffed toys they all like to play with.  They enjoy also reading the story’s to me or myself reading to them.  On the weekends I try to be there in the afternoons for a period of time.  There is no comment made but if I can get over there I do.  On Wednesday morning I also spend time with the nursery classes (age 3-5).  This past week I read a story (interpreted by a teacher) and then they drew a picture of a butterfly from the story.  Then I gave them two stickers to put on them.  It was a good morning.  I will also be spending time with two of the outreach ministry at pace that have nursery schools.  I want to be with them to read and spend time with them.  So keeping busy enough and trying to be with the kids as much as possible.
