Back to the orphanage for bubbles and sausages



Twice during SLI, Kel invites students to visit the orphanage. Teachers invite their students to participate, and if there is room, the teachers come along with them. For this sojourn, eight Lithuanian students came with which was nice because they could speak with the kids at the orphanage. Other members from Kel's Vineyeard community were also there. The SLI students were great, taking the lead without too much coaxing on our parts. Jude had made bubbles and shared how we had used them at the orphanage before. The SLI students from Jude's class were naturals with these kids. Steve and I played a little two-on-two with some 12 year olds, who soundly trounced us 20-11. Others were playing frisbee, drawing with chalk while Kel set up the bar-b-que for grilling --yes more sausages. Even though it drizzled for part of the afternoon, the drizzle was refreshing, especially after running around. We spent about two hours with the kids before packing up and driving back to LCC. Next Saturday, we go back for some baseball...
