The play...

On Patrick’s advice I have begun a play with the kids. Its a combination of Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks. I gave the kids the script on Wednesday and a few of them have already memorized their lines. I went out to collect supplies for the set, etc. and when I returned much of the forest and the path were already created. They are all so eager to learn, and they stand around listening as I teach the other kids their parts. The girl I chose to be Goldilocks, La Zhom Ya Zhom (The spelling is wrong, but you get the idea) has learned her lines and the lines of the three bears. She has also begun to sound out words by herself. The boy I chose to be Baby Bear, his name is Jah Shua (again, the spelling is wrong) knew his lines by heart before the end of our first session, and he has actually begun to teach some of the younger kids their lines as well. When I met with the Mama Bear, and the Papa Bear they already knew their lines!

Do not fret, I will videotape the performance. It’s gonna be good…
