This morning was more relaxed with some breakfast, a teaching time with Beth Guckenberger, a time to buy stuff at our market, and our HOW TO STAY INVOLVED MEETING!
We had a delicious lunch and then headed out for Casa Hogar Del Norte.
At Del Norte we made ornaments with the kids and let them make 2 sugar cookies topping them with icing and sprinkles.
Then we headed out for a fun fieldtrip to a place called KIDZANIA. It is basically a town that we live in shrunk down to kid size. Right when you get in, each child gets a check for a certain amount of money (like monopoly money) and they go to the bank to cash it. After that, they basically can run crazy in a place that you can learn how to make your own hamburger from McDonalds, your own pizza at Dominoes. And you get to work at places like Home Depot, a Veterinarian place with real animals, and Wal-Mart! This place has 2 stories for places to make money and then to spend it. The kids can bottle coke but they have to pay for the coke bottle. They can make a chocolate candy but they have to pay for it with the money they earned! They can become a firefighter, policeman, delivery person, a pilot, and much more.
Everytime we take a childrens home to this place the dreams of who they CAN become are more real to them! It is so fun watching them go from place to place and earn money or be able to spend it!
It was a fun filled day that is for sure!
