Christalite Methodist Home part 2

Today we went to the Christalite Methodist Home again. But, this time instead of doing santa hats,we did heart decorating and necklace/bracelet making.

I think I had a much better time this time than last time. I say this because I felt more engaged in what we were doing with the old folks. The woman I was working with asked me to do stuff until she got the hang of it. Her friend that she had brought along could speak both english and chinese. She helped me understand what my lady wanted and I was very happy that she was willing to do that.

I got two valentines from the two lady's! I didn't really help her friend but she still gave me her valentine that she made. My lady gave me her valentine too! She took a fancy to the sparkly sequence and let me tell that if you shined it in the sun and into someone's eyes you could very well blind them!

I think this was a bunch of fun and I hope we can go back soon! I know I had the best time ever because that hour seemed like 10 minutes!

Christalite Methodist Home

Today, we went to the Christalite Methodist Home.  The home helps people who are homeless or need help. We went there to decorate Santa Hats with them. Everyone I decorated hats with was very friendly but some didn't speak english. There was one lady that had asked me for a bracelet that was on my wrist. I promised her that I would get her one too! I had a lot of fun being the teacher for a day and I bet everyone else had a fun time too.

It made me feel very good that I could help someone else feel happy and create something nice. I hope all the old people at the home had a good time with us. I would feel really happy if I were the old folks who got to create some awesome hats. 


I bet the old folks also had a good time listening to us sing. We sung "Feliz Navidad","Silent Night", "Jingle Bells" and  "We wish you a Merry Christmas ". They all clapped after we had finished each of our songs. When we were singing "We wish you a Merry Christmas" (Our last song) one of the old folks started swaying back and forth then everyone on stage did too!

I think this has been the greatest field trip ever so far this year! I really enjoyed it and I hope everyone else did too. I think the old folks had the best time out of all of us because they got to create that awesome hats!
