Further Adventures of Bowman Teachers

While we were at Sagam Primary, the Bowman Teachers and I had the opportunity to participate in all the ordinary activities that teachers and the headmaster do!  Kate Glenn and Karen Thompson both got to serve lunch to the students, and Karen took a turn helping to cook the teachers' lunch over the wood fire.  In addition, Karen, Kate and I all took over a range of different classrooms, trying our had at teaching in a different school setting.  



Miss Thompson enjoyed 
teaching a Standard 7 (grade 7) geography lesson on East Africa!  





Mrs. Glenn and I took over the Standard 2 (grade 2) class of 120 students for their full school day!  We have incredible respect for Madam Jane, whose management of the class seems effortless!  We found it easiest to teach Math, as the language is the most straightforward.  However, the students greatest love is singing, and they did 
a wonderful job of learning to sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat".
