All 20 of us teacher share this "teachers' lounge": we keep our books, papers, and supplies in the cupboards on the left. This is our only space so we share benches and tables to plan lessons, grade papers, eat our meals, EVERYTHING. See the white lab coats we have to wear?!
This is our 80's reject computer in our lounge. I just deleted some back-up files for some German company to try to clear up the mess. We have no internet and no printer (not that they know how to use either one...) so we use it to watch music videos (over and over and over again...they put it on repeat for like an hour at a time!): usually a religious one with cheesy effects or a pop video with a woman in a leotard, shaking around, trying to be sexy, and singing "oh, la, la! ma cherie!"
Our school has pigs! Just next to the 4th year students' classrooms. There are apparently some cows and fields the next hill over.
March 8th was International Woman's Day! All of the student clubs (and there are MANY) prepared something, so these are girls doing traditional Rwandan dances. Their arms are up to represent the cow--Rwandan (and it seems African) symbol of wealth.
Hey Michele,
ReplyDeleteI love reading about Rwanda and all you do there. I pray your work is blessed by God. I sent some of my favorite books via your sweet mom: Baby Island, Mr. Popper's Penguins, Henry and Ribsy, Sarah Plain and Tall, and some others.
I took your mom to an Amy Grant concert at the beginning of March and it was great!
Did your mom tell you she is the RMMS teacher of the year?!!!! Finally!!! I have been submitting her name for several years now, and am thrilled she finally has been recognized for all her hard work and dedication. She is an awesome lady and a true friend.
Praying for you always,
Nana
