Lots of New Families!

We are still feeling out the dynamic at the Tenderloin Children's Playground City College Childhood Observation Class. We tried something new this week, since lunch is served toward the end of their three hour time at the center. I read to the families while they ate lunch. Though there were still many distracted children, I had the attention of more than ever before as I walked back and forth, reading Mouse Count (Cuenta Ratones) hissing like a snake, and showing the pictures of the mice that got away. It was fun to relate the snake's lunch with their own, even though the snake didn't get to eat the mice in the end. 21 families in all this Wednesday - word is starting to get around!
