Tying up loose ends!

Katie stayed home from school today so she could rest and get better.  I went to school just for the morning again.  I did a morning meeting with my students and then I had them work on finishing up some of their work from the rest of the week.  All of the students needed to finish their letter to the students in America and draw pictures, some students had to finish up their math work from Monday, and others had to finish their drawings/pictures from earlier in the week.  I also had my students and Katie’s students sign a card for Katie.  Whenever anyone here knows that you are sick or you are paining, they say “Sorry,” so that’s what I wrote on the cards.  All in all, it was a nice, relaxing morning with the kids.

Evan with the card we made!

I left after I taught this lesson, as no more learning would be taking place for the day.  From 11 to 1 the teachers were going to meet and discuss the midterm exams.  Unfortunately, I was told the meeting would be in Lukunzo, so it would be hard for me to get much out of it.  It would have definitely been an interesting experience, had I been able to understand what everyone had to say.  I did spend a lot of time as the midterms were taking place talking with my teacher and Katie’s as well as talking with King James, so I felt good knowing that I had some information on the exams.  And then after the meeting was over, the students would be having a netball tournament the rest of the afternoon.  And it wasn’t terrible that I went home, as I think I am coming down with a bit of a cold here.
