Yay! Honestly, I feel excited and touched that we are here. 2,5 months ago it wasn't even certain that we would make this trip happen but here we are now in this blessed island actually doing serious and substantial work. Lighthouse School is an awesome place and at this moment is providing us with everything we really need. Jeniris and I have the "Singing Group", in which we do improvisation and singing. Today we focused on getting to know the children and understand group dynamics. We played "The trip song" that Karen Wacks taught us, which turned out a fun activity that the kids enjoyed. That also helped with getting to know everybody's names better. We decided that a jam would be nice, so we made a drum song, in which we used a lot of syllables, call and response and rhythmic exercises.
I was sooo rusty from this summer and the fact that a dog bit my finger didn't help in practicing a lot of guitar before I came to the island, but this day reminded me of all the things that I have learned, all the practicum experience I have had and my future life on the field. It got me back on my feet again and now you can bring it as much as you want! I am ready for more.
