The Post Office

In Standard V ICT (Information, Communication and Technology), we have been learning about the Post Office.  It was a surprisingly difficult unit for the students to grasp.  There was a lot of new information for them about letters, registered mail, parcels and money orders.  And as it turned out, none of them had ever actually been to a post office. 

So to finish up the unit, we took a 'Study Tour' to the Post Office.  For the border students, it was fun to get off campus.  The entire presentation was in Kiswahili, so I didn't understand most of what was going on.  But the students found it really interesting.  It seemed like they were asking really great questions and knew a lot of the answers to questions they were asked. 

Next up, we learn about newspapers, journals and books.  I'm trying to figure out if there is a newspaper that is printed in Bukoba.....we'll see.....

All Dressed up But no Where to go!

We ordered Nino a school uniform at the beginning of the year so he could join the Preschool class.  It finally arrived.  I think he looks super cute in his school clothes.  But of course, now he doesn't really want to go to school.  He'll go for about 30 minutes once or twice a day.  He tells the teacher that he is going home to 'rest' and he'll be back later.
