School's Out for the Summer!

While summer vacation being around Christmas time has taken some getting used to, school has been out since mid-December and will resume later this month. I teach at a nursery school, which means students may attend for two or three years before moving on to primary school. Fortunately, many of the students and I will be able to pick up where we left off when the new school year begins.


However, ten students in my class celebrated their graduation in December. Parents were invited to our classroom for a program where the students sang, told stories and riddles, and showed off their English skills. After the program, we celebrated in typical Tanzanian fashion – by eating rice! It was a great day to celebrate the accomplishments of these students.
