The School

The outside of our school looks quite nice. It was built by the government in 2002, so it is pretty new. It goes from grade 1 to grade 6. There are two classes in each grade except grade 5 has three classes and grade 6 has only one. My first week at the school, I spent the first four days teaching grade 3b. I have added a bunch of pics of my students in that class.

(First pic)-This is the outside of the school.

(Second pic)-Ronaldo and Ronny were a fun pair although they tried my patience quite a bit. I can't even count the times I had to tell them to stay in there seat. Despite the frusteration, these two are quite a pair and very fun!

(Third pic)-This is Tomas, I absolutely adore him. Whenever he sees me he always has the best smile. The only problem is that Tomas doesn't speak any english, only oshivambo. He tries really hard in class to do what everyone is doing. The other kids try and translate for him.

(Fourth pic)-Here is Gideon, probably one of the sweetest kids I have ever met. He is one of the oldest kids in the grade 3 class, he is 13 years old.

(Fifth pic)-Awwww....Naftalie and Browny. Naftalie is in the striped shirt and he is deaf. He is a super smart kid when I could get him to sit and understand what we were doing. He is hilarious and loves it when I tease him. His partner in crime is Browny who is also very smart. He helped a lot to try and help Naftalie understand what was going on.
