“No seas tramposa.”
Jennifer had playfully pushed me after a friendly competition of Around
the World. These interactions were the
ones that made leaving the girls to work on the project hard to do. The groups of volunteers were split up into
those who would work on the garden and those who worked in classrooms with the
girls.
During one of our reflections, we agreed that the economic situation of the Mariposa girls should not dictate their opportunities and ability to get
an education. Because of that, we worked
on math skills that would better prepare them for the exams that would lead to
a future that could break the cycle of poverty.
As well as math games, we also worked on creating new lesson plans that
could better improve their math skills and their literacy in both English and
Spanish.
Tomorrow we are excited to introduce the girls to new
games and lessons that are educational as well as active.
