Yesterday was my turn with Class 8 and we literally worked on Science and Social Studies from 9:30AM to 3:45PM.

I only had the shirt


Break time

Steward and Dorcas


Joseph, who after all this time, we found out his name was Godfrey





Martin, Johnstone, and Justus are crazy with how much they love to learn. It got to be break time and I asked if they wanted to go outside and they refused at least 4 times, so we kept going with the lessons.




It was great though because time flew without even knowing it.
Its great to have such small classes because we can take our time and discuss everything in depth and the kids can ask questions.
We covered some great topics like animals and their different types of defense mechanisms, carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, the different types of teeth, how the different types move, evolution, and archeology. This all lead to discussion of other topics not in the book such as Aero Dynamics, the Amazon, Boa Constrictors, submarines...We are not teaching today so that we can take Freda's kids to the pool, since we didn't get to go last week.
In our place Geoffrey will be teaching Swahili, lessons will continue tomorrow...
