Today I did teacher training at two different schools. The first school had some access to computers and a projector, though no Internet. The second school (in the first and third pictures)was formerly a boarding school/orphanage and had a sparely decorated classroom without any type of chalkboard or whiteboard. You can see in the first picture that I have taped my lesson information to the back of a chair that we placed on top of a table. This school is large with a spacious play area but needs repairs, some of which were going on as I visited. The children you see are playing in the schoolyard, with a water fountain/spigot to their right. The local TV station filmed some of my lesson at the first school and interviewed me. Halima said it should be on TV tonight. I very much enjoyed being at both schools and found the teachers to be interested and involved. In the next few days, I will be working with students -- some high school age and some college age. I am looking forward to it!
