Fun

Hello everyone. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to blog but we have been having problems with the Internet and I went down to Cape Coast for the weekend. I have so much to write about in so little time.
Richard is doing well. We have moved from learning 1-10 to 11-20. He is now learning 21-99. I’m really proud of his improvement and how excited he is about tutoring. Meghan is helping another girl in my class,Rurth. She is a little more advanced than Richard but she was having a hard time. They are such great kids I’m filled with so much joy when they raise their hands in class to answer a question, when before they would put their heads down.
We have a student teacher who teaches religion and citizenship after me, so I don’t have to worry about my teacher hitting the students.
Today one of the students in Primary 6 had some sort of an episode. She started screaming and grabbed her teacher by the collar. Another teacher ran in with the cane and she started hitting and kicking him until he backed away. She finally settled down and sat in her seat and finished her work. I asked around and all the teachers just said that she was mentally ill and that these episodes were normal. What a nice welcome back home from Cape Coast. Hehehe
I spent 2 days in the beautiful Cape Coast area. We stayed in the Hans Cottage Boatel. It was placed right in the middle of a swamp. So they have crocodiles everywhere. It was a fun weekend but I can’t write about it just yet. And I was very happy to come home to Kibi and my students.
I will try and post some pictures for you now, we’ll see what happens.








I hope this works. I got a video of the beach before I left and I got one of the slave castle. I wanted to get one of the kids but as it turns out we are not supposed to bring our camaras to the school until the last week we are here. Opps. Oh well I've got some good pics I will try to post.
