It is my first week of teaching this week, an I’m with the little guppies. They are so much fun to teach and just be around, they all are happy and friendly. Even though I would have told you little children at such a young age would be hard to teach because of their low age, I would now say that they are easier then the older children. it is understandable that they will not retain as much as an older child or understand as easily but for some reason they actually put forth an attempt to learn. By simply making learning fun the guppies just drink it all in, the whole experience of sailing and even after a few days of heavy wind they soon are looking for something knew to learn and experience. Plus the guppies are at the age that they learn to fear or not fear scary things and I can see it when I’m sailing with them, that conflict of enjoying the feeling of fear and being afraid to push the envelope. Just an all around fun class to teach and just be apart of. Maybe I’ll be lucky later in the summer and get assigned to the guppies again, can only hope.
