This week we focused on learning a new skill that we hope will come in handy in the future! We worked on baking with each group and each group made some of the best banana bread I've ever had. Every person was in charge of a specific task and it turned out wonderfully. We stressed the importance of keeping things clean and sanitary and the importance of washing hands before and during the baking. The kids absolutely loved baking and were so excited with their final project.
One kid in particular was special to see. Miguel has a hard time walking, so it makes it hard for him to participate in a lot of the things the kids like to do, such as sports and dancing. But Miguel excelled at baking! He was great at helping the other kids with measuring and mixing and it was easy to see how much he enjoyed himself and how comfortable he felt.
Learning about all the kids and their talents and things they enjoy is so fun. I love getting to know each child and what makes them special. I have already met some of the coolest people and I can't wait to get to know more!
