On Monday's we take our guitars and egg shakers to Beacon School at the other side of the island. It's a school for Handicapped Kids. We have borrowed a guitar from the school and one from Miss Hamilton and Anthony plays his and I let the kids play mine while I do crowd control and help the kids position their guitar and remember which end is up and sing the songs with the kids and Anthony. This little guy is Blind and he loves the time with the guitar and he's a great little singer too.
We meet in the Resource Room and usually have 3 to 4 kids at at time. They now know us and why we are there so we get lots of great smiles welcoming us when ever we arrive. Miss Hamilton picks us up and takes us back home. We have become close friends with Miss Hamilton and her family...she's the Art Teacher there.
The children wear uniforms and are very, very mannerly, "Good afternoon, Mr. Anthony and Miss Judy".
Their favourite songs are This Little Light, This Is The Day, Jesus Loves Me, He's got the Whole World in His Hands and we put the kids names in the song....He's got Xavier and Kashana in his hands.....they really enjoy hearing their names in the song.
It's a lot of fun for Anthony and I and the children sure smile a lot and are very excited when we are there. The principal gave us a list of children she wanted us to see and then a Teaching Assistant, Dexter, helps me find the kids and bring them to the Resource Room.
Sometimes we don't have enough guitars to go around so we give the kids egg shakers that John Lodge brought me earlier in the year. There isn't a music store on the island so I got friends to bring down guitar strings and shakers and spoons, picks, etc. that we needed for our singalongs.
This is Dexter, he is very helpful with gathering the children. Thanks Dexter for your help and great smile.
Anthony and some of the kids.
Me and some of the kids.
These two little cuties enjoy the music too. The school goes from grade one to grade 7, I think. I'll have to ask more questions when Miss Hamilton picks us up tomorrow. I'll take some pictures of the school buildings too so you'll have an idea what the school looks like.
