Monday at School

Once I got my rear-end to school, I caught up with Richard, the other teacher of 8W English. Since we are co-teaching the class, I needed to tell him that we didn’t get to the essay because of the class dedication. OK so I found him and he didn’t get to the essay either because of the overflow of 8th grade student’s in one class. So today I’ll get the kids writing an essay that has the first couple of lines already written for them in their text book. Then I think I’ll assign homework, a 5 paragraph essay and the topic is their choice. 

Tomorrow I want to go into Kitale Town and purchase books for my 7W class. I’m co-teaching that class as well, but I’m using another book. The school doesn’t have enough copies of this book, so I’m going to purchase them when I go into town tomorrow. Hopefully it won’t be too much money.  

So far I like teaching here at Legacy. The other teachers are really nice and helpful and the students are great! I didn’t know but the upper school grades 7 & 8 and the kids in those classes all board here. They see their parent’s one weekend a month. That’s so odd to me. I couldn’t imagine not seeing my two kids during the week while they were in high school. A lot of things here are modeled after the British and I guess boarding schools are included.  

Lunch is at 12:40 here and it’s probably rice and beans or maise and beans. I just hope there is some cabbage to go with it. lol
