Ben As A Teacher



On the CBTS compound, there is a primary school and a nursery school.  Yesterday, the kids and I were able to come and see and also teach in the school.  We were there at 7:30 am, when their morning school starts.  They began by the morning school exercises. They then began practicing for February 11th National Youth Day.  It is celebrated every year and all the schools will parade around the town grandstand.  Our children learned the songs and marched along in the practice.  Ben said we were the white contingent.
We were then told that the class 5 teacher had quit the day before and were asked if we could teach the class five.  We started by reviewing the test that was on the chalk board, then talked about Canada and gave a small Social lesson.  We still had another hour, so Ben taught the next level in their math books.  Ben was an amazing math teacher.  I was very impressed.

Of course, the children were swarming or children.  It was a blessing to see our kids love on the African kids.
