Last time we had OLPC, we taught fourth graders a little more about Scratch and let them explore different ways to use it. We also gave the girls a project to complete. We told them that they had to make a story using Scratch, and they made some super creative and cool stories. I saw one about dogs, one about music, and even one about flying hippos. I thought seeing what the girls did after we taught them was super rewarding. It felt like all of our teaching really paid off! I am so happy that I got to teach those girls. Teaching them helped me learn a lot. I learned a lot about how to help younger kids, and how sometimes changing the way you explain things can really benefit a student. I think that this experience will really prepare me for what I will be teaching in Barbados, and I had a lot of fun!
