Something I love about the Jerusalem Center is there
are countless opportunities to serve. One service opportunity I was able to
participate in was teaching English at a nearby school. I taught four year olds how to say school
supplies such as bag, eraser, pencil, and lunchbox. I also reviewed the letter F with them by
teaching a frog song, and playing “duck, duck, frog.” I had so much fun. It was
actually a lot harder than I had originally anticipated though. You get there
being so excited to teach. However, when you start trying to explain what you
are going to do, you realize they can’t understand anything that you are
saying. Failure. The kids there speak Arabic so there is that language barrier…
if only I would have learned more in my Arabic class. However the teacher was a
wonderful translator.
The children were all SO DARLING!!!
