I'm so busy! I think I'll be loving it once I get the hang of things. Today Jill basically taught us how to teach the kiddies English with games and activities. It is all common sense...there is no magic answer like I was expecting. But to my surprise, we are not supposed to speak any Thai at all to the children. We simply use exaggerated gestures and few words. The other volunteers are mostly in their twenties and really great people. Ella, Narelle and I jointly teach our first lessons tomorrow --eek!
