Week 7

I spent most of this morning helping out with a cooking class, teaching 10 kids how to make salsa and eggs. We showed them how to properly cut tomatoes, red bell peppers, garlic, and lime, and how to use cumin as seasoning for the dish. 

Unfortunately, 2 of the kids had a little accident and cut their fingers with the knives, but everyone was mostly okay. 

After cooking class, I went upstairs to help with the younger art class, where they learned to mix primary colors into secondary colors, and made their own color wheels of warm and cool colors to use as examples.

We took an hour break for lunch outside, while Chloe and I kept an eye on those who were staying through to the afternoon class. The kids played freeze tag and told me all about their pets (Caroline has a dog named Lucy) and their favorite things to do.

I spent my afternoon taking part and assisting for the older group's art class, where they drew pictures, painted, made mosaics with beans and seeds instead of tile, and concluded with a round of collaborative drawing, where we sent various pieces of paper around the table to be completed bit by bit by everyone instead of just one person.

All in all, it was a productive, artistic, and fun-filled day.
