A Peek into A School

In the past few weeks I have visited a number of schools, and hope to add a few reflections. Today, I will leave you with some pictures and short videos. I hope you enjoy! The first clip is of a marching band that was referred to in my March prayer letter. The children in most school meet before classes start for morning assembly. The students line up according to their classes and once the meeting is over, they march according to their grades into their classes to start the day. Today, the march was done as the children sang, "Oh When the Saints Go Marching In".

(Unfortunately, I am having problems, uploading the video. Hopefully it will come shortly.)

Here are the marching band participants..



This girl is busy writing out her numbers from 1 to...100 (or maybe more) in her math notebook. Each child has a notebook for each subject area. A good amount of time is spent copying questions and notes from the board and then answering them.



Here is a student with the teacher assistant sitting behind him. The bulletin board in the background has the children's names posted with the title "I am Royal" posted underneath.



Children are waiting for the rest of their class to finish their lunches so that they can continue with their lessons.
