Well, we made it to Masaka finally a week ago Friday! The students did exams starting the Tuesday after we got here so we were only able to watch one day of teaching. I am teaching in the P5 classroom doing Math and maybe some other subjects. I have 96 students in my class! We did exams all last week and we have been marking them. I corrected the math exams by myself and it was a lot of work. It is amazing to see what these students are studying at such a young age. It gives me a good idea what to teach and what needs to be retaught before the end of the school year in the beginning of December. I am also on the academic committee so we get to check the exams for each level and subject. It is hard work and there are only 5 of us to check all of them and approve or give them back to the teacher to revise again.
Many of the students have left for holiday because we ran out of food to feed them although the holiday does not begin until the 8th of August. It is more quiet around the school now that many of the students have left for holiday. P7 and P6 students do not get a holiday and P5 will get only one week because there is so much material to get done before the end of the year. I will be going to Kampala for a week so I will write more when I can use free Internet instead of paying for it. I pray that things are well with all of you and thank you for your prayers! God bless each of you!!!

Hi Michelle, I finally learned how to blog. Rebecca, my daughter is here for a few days and she loves computer land. So, now I can comment! I will see your mom and Rebecca Dobos tomorrow at the parking lot sale. We miss you and pray for you each day. I hear that you are a pretty darn good teacher. Bless their socks off, girl, but that is probably not allowed to go to school without socks. Much love to you and safe cooking! Elsa Jane
