The End of Term 1 and Grant Update

Hello all!

Well, we are almost at the end of term one. This week is review week, then we have exams and marking. It has been a bit of a whirlwind of a term, as we've had several schedule and staffing changes. But we're set now and should have a routine going into term two! I teach/co-teach/observe about thirty sections a week (mostly primary four with a few primary five). We also have weekly English Club for primary students, Girls Leading Our World/Boys Excelling Club for secondary students, and teacher training. Everything has been going well so far! Although we still need to work on spelling and handwriting, as usual. Here are some pictures from the term:

Just about to do some head-to-head word recognition competition!

As far as the grant goes, we are back working on it! I don't want to mention how long it took to get my funds back or how long it took for someone to respond to my numerous emails/messages about if I could actually start using the funds, but we're making progress! I went to Kigali last week and picked up three desktop computers, a projector, and speakers. We have the computers and speakers set up, and I'm looking for a different cable for the projector. But we start teacher training next week! Thanks again to all who donated!

Making progress!
