busy day



Today we had "student lead conferences" which we had never heard of and weren't sure what to expect.

Essentially we had a 1/2 hour meeting in each classroom. The kids got to show us all the things they have done up to this point. Alisha was very excited to show us around her classroom and the 1/2 hour was about right. Mari was excited also (in her quiet way), but we could have stayed an hour reading all her journals, math books, science books etc...1/2 hour was definetly a bit short.

In the evening we went to Emmanuel Baptist Church to see the African Childrens Choir...what a lot of energy these kids (aged 7-11) had...they we just so energetic...we all enjoyed and and even bought a CD at the end. Click on the link above for a sample of the type of music we heard (and saw). Here are a couple photos from today.

Yes, Carl we've had that chidren's African choir come here for a few performances...I think that was the same choir. They were absolutly great.
That was sure a neat visit to the school for you guys. I can just hear the girls with such great excitment showing you all that they have to present.
I'm still not sure if you actually get to read my comments or not. Like I said last time I reply the same as if it's an email
