Final Preschool

This morning we started out with English, and we had 5 ladies come. We had a hodge-podge worksheet put together focusing on reading comprehension, verb tense, sentence correction and writing prompts. They did very well. Dee even came toward the end just to watch us teach.

After English we went to the tents for tutoring, but none of our kids came. I think since they’ve started a new term, the kids’ schedules have changed so that’s going to affect out last few days of tutoring. We’ll just have to go with the flow.

So because of no tutoring, we had an extended lunch hour. We had PB&Js and fresh oranges from the tree. I even took a little cat nap before heading over for preschool.

It was strange having preschool again today—it’s seemed like ages since we last did preschool. We stayed together today, doing our usual chants and songs and we made Mother’s Day cards for all the kids’ moms for Sunday. They did such a great job of coloring their pictures. We also took a picture with the kids that we’re going to give as a gift at our farewell party next week. We’re pretty sure this was our final day of preschool teaching. We’ll be gone on Thursday, and then next week Tuesday we’ll be getting ready to leave.

After preschool Mwandida came for tutoring. She told me Chipo was at school, so her schedule must have changed as well. Mwandida did some wonderful work with reading. It was kind of nice to have her one on one. Erika had a random combination of her tutoring boys, so we eventually combined our groups and played some games.

After tutoring we had volleyball, where my team won the majority of the games. I love having Vicar Moyo on my team because he is the most encouraging, optimistic player we have. Even when we’re down by so much he says “Now we go!” or “it’s ok, it happens”. The phrasing of the things he says is so funny though. I love hearing how confident he is.

For supper we made rice with sausage and stir fry. Then we headed over to the other guest house to watch some TV and do some printing.
