Second Class

Yesterday we held our second class. :-)

The kids seemed eager and interested in getting going right away, and after only a few minutes we began our lessons.

We started off talking about what a computer is, what software is, what a program is, what you use to put information into the computer, and the major parts of a computer. The kids participated in a lot of demonstrations and there were laughs and giggles when I pressed the "on" button and one child came to life to demonstrate the program worked.

Then we did three value lessons. The first one was on being faithful (don't be promiscuous for adults). Then we talked about loving and helping children. It was interesting because most of the kids have younger children that they help with and they could see things they could do to help those younger than them and to really listen and try to understand what's going on with them. The last one was on honoring and respecting your parents. Both the kids and adults got a laugh when I got down on my knees and pretended to be the child showing respect to my parent (one of the kids pretended to be my parent). We talked about respect not just being following orders, but something that comes out of the love and genuine thankfulness you feel for the help your parents give you.

They then played the educational games and we all had a good time on the computers.
