Today we completed our fifth day of teaching, it is hard to believe that we are half way done, only 5 more days of teaching. Today we taught about 130 students, from 3rd to 8th grade. The school correspondant gave us each a home made towel! We each now have three towels that we were given as gifts (the first two came from our partner, Grace Peter Charitable Trust, during our orientation). And while we were talking in the principal's office after our teaching, a cow came up to the front gate, hit it with its horns and moo-ed to be let in!!
Yesterday we taught 450 kids! All at once! We were able to break it up into morning and afternoon sessions so that we taught and demonstrated the skills in the morning and in the afternoon we were able to have each student practice the skills! It was our longest day yet. Oh, and in the midddle during our break, each kid came up and asked for our autographs, some asked 2-3 times! It was crazy! There were mobs of kids around us, we were all covered with pen ink.
It is truly amazing how fast the kids catch on, and they are all able to ask and answer questions at the end. We are all so impressed with them!!

Sending our love,
Kaitlin, Carley, Caitlin, Bela, Betheny and Jesse.
