Taught English at the school we are camped nearby. Started with Hina and Rose in pre-school class that had not had any English coursework yet. We worked with them to learn ABCs.
The head teacher asked Penny and I to come to grade 3 class. We taught tall vs short which worked great with Penny and I being tall and short. Also tried fat vs thin, black vs white, and numbers.
Funny moment at the end of class. Pointing to myself, I said "I'm Doug and who's this?" The class answered "Doug". Pointing to Penny, I asked "who is this?" And they quickly answered "short!" I guess they understood the tall versus short lesson.
Rose and the teacher checking preschool homework journals to check progress.
Hina teaching the ABCs. Was reminded the ABC song is sung differently in Tanzania. It goes like this:
ABCDEFG
HIJKLMNOP
LMNOPQ
RSTUV
WXY and Zed
