And the seniors are unto their next great challenge!
One of the greatest challenges they will have this year, teaching people older
than them how to read and write. But they are not only meant to teach them to
read and write, but other important subjects too.
The opening of the literacy program was October 4, 2014. They started by singing our anthem and
praying to our God. Ms. Lourdes and Mrs. Maritza gave some words to the people.
Ms. Lourdes talked about how amazing it was that the seniors started on St.
Francis Day, and how the only thing that mattered was their enthusiasm to
learn. Mrs. Maritza gave some words too and presented the seniors responsible
for each class and subject.
There was also a guitar and singing presentation, and the
seniors dance ended this opening. “It was good but the seniors didn’t practice
the dance,” said a ninth grade student, Alejandra Lainez.
With the opening finished, everyone proceeded to eat.
They were going to eat pupusas and cake in the cafeteria. The seniors and the
seniors’ parents helped in serving the cake and drinks, also moving chairs so
everyone could be seated. They also interacted with some of students of the
literacy program.
Then they went all into the classrooms. They gave a
brief presentation of themselves and which classes each would be teaching. From
first to third grade, there will only be two classes, Spanish and math. From
fourth to sixth grade, there will be four classes, Spanish, math, science, and
social studies. The classes started and the students that were not teaching the
class, were helping either with the students or the students’ kids.
The classes ended and
everyone seemed happy with the work they’d done, even if they were only meant
to give a test to see the level of each student. There are some students that
have problems learning some classes, but every problem has a solution. Mrs.
Maritza said, “The seniors did pretty well.
The interest they have is noticeable, and their enthusiasm made the
first day a success.”
