That all sounds like a whole lot of fun. 

I'm glad that you are setting a good example for those kids.

That's wonderful! What a great role model you are to those kids.

I mentor a sighted kindergartner (6 yr old) in an urban public school. I
spent time with her working on her reading and behavior by playing games and
reading stories with her. Sometimes we just color, talk, & play with
Playdoh. I also volunteer in the classroom. Lots of fun!
