Elliot tells us about his first week at the Aldea:
What a wonderful week at the Aldea!!! So much has happened and the children have been great. One thing that I have noticed are the big hearts the kids have. They want to have fun and most of all to have new experiences. Each age group has those small things that they love to do. The older kids love to play soccer so we tend to play in the morning and then spend a little more time with the little kids in the afternoon. One of the greatest things that happened this week was that we were able to have the kids work together more. We started playing and jumping off the swing.
They were able to stand in a line for the first time since being at the Aldea although knowing kids they could not keep their hands off each other. We even created a little line made out of logs that we gathered. They sat on them and we loved just playing and working with each other.
The greatest was Miguel (5) who would make bird noises while swinging. Afterwards he told me that it was because he said if he did it enough he would start to fly. Now although he did not start to fly he did get pretty high in the swing. The kids are doing great and really making progress in their developmental process.
