Service-BrainShine School on Wednesdays (15)

J BRAINSHINE SCHOOL LAST WEEKS ON WEDNESDAYS J

The last 2 weeks [on Wednesdays] was real fun at Brainshine! We continued the “Cleanliness is godliness” activity, this time we taught the children how to brush their teeth properly. That [Wednesday] day we provided each child with a toothbrush [they were so happy to get free toothbrushes, the girls wanted the pink princess brushes, while the boys wanted the panda brushes] and toothpaste.

Srusti and I partnered, and we took charge of the Pre-Unit class, they were so adorable and eager! When they finished brushing their teeth, we moved to the next activity, which was showing them how to wash their hands and face properly, they lined up with the pieces of cloths we provided them with.

Soon after, we showed them how to cut their nails, using gloves and detol [disinfectant] we cut each of the children’s nails. At first they were a bit scared, but we assured them that if they don't cut their nails it will be filled with dirt, another problem we had was that all of the children had really short nails, so we had to be extra careful when cutting their nails.

The holidays are coming up for the Brainshine children; they will be on holiday for the next 3 weeks. I am really going to miss them! I really enjoy spending Wednesdays with them, I get to no them more and more, for example Kariuki [he is in “baby class” he is super active!] his best friend is Simon, and in pre-unit class there was a new girl, her name is Mary. Tracy loves number, if I asked the class to count to 10, she is the first to raise her hand and recite [she is sooo cute!]
