End of the 1st semester (Jan 2 - Jan 19)

After the Christmas break, there were several changes in my involvement at the school. 

Firstly, at the beginning of January, Eliška, another volunteer, has arrived. Together, we started to lead art sessions on Mondays and occasionally work in świetlica together.

In swietlica, after creating numerous Christmas handicrafts in December, we shifted towards  drawings and handicrafts on subjects like nature and spring. I also came up with an idea of decorating paper cards with colored pencil ornaments inspired by pysanky, traditional Ukrainian Easter egg decorations somewhat close to Polish pisanki. 



Lastly, we began setting up a Dash robot and tablets to later use them in świetlica and for Informatics classes.

Also, I started tutoring a displaced Ukrainian student in English and Math on a one to one basis.

Finally, I started to lead Minecraft classes for 4a and 4b.

The last week before my on-arrival training is Warsaw was mostly spent in the pre-Christmas hustle. During the first half of the week, I was staying in świetlica, where the students and I were decorating the classroom. On Wednesday, I also had several English speaking classes. On top of that, I was working on a presentation about Ukrainian winter traditions and celebrations for my upcoming English classes and for the Białystok volunteers' visits to another school and a youth center on Thursday.
