Every chair taken!

Two weeks ago literally every chair in my apartment was 
taken, when all 7 of this year's Interns came to our 
teaching time.  We have started the year with 2 weeks 
of focusing on characteristics of teachers and children. 
Now, we are looking into why ALL the activities in the 
Daily Program of the Playschool are important and how 
to run a Daily Program that will develop the Preschooler 
in totality.  7 is more than I had planned for, but I am 
excited for what the Internship can open up for each one 
of them.  Last year, two of the Interns found new interests 
and opportunities for their future and I am grateful that 
the Programme could play a part in that.

The Maths Club in Lingelihle also started with a bang! 
I could never have imagined that kids would be so excited 
to attend a Maths Club.  I am happy that 2 of the 
Interns are joining me there.  The help with the older 
grades and that should free me to help those with learning 
difficulties.

In Carinus, I am taking Grade 1 learners again in small 
groups.  During the holidays I developed a reading book for 
teaching Afrikaans reading and I am now testing this material 
with these learners. So far, so good!!!

We have lost 3 monthly donor this past months.  So, if you 
are doing a sport event and would like to make us your charity, 
this link could help to channel funds to us.
