Before break, Julie and I met with Sister Esther and she
decided that it would be a good move to have us be co-teachers, so once school
resumed Teresa (the aid) moved to KG (Kindergarten) and Julie started up in
Basic 2 with me. So far, it’s been great!! Its much easier to plan and conduct
lessons with 40 students when there are 2 teachers contributing, bouncing ideas
back and forth, getting new resources and materials, and managing the many
crazy kids. We have been learning about water in science, and Julie started
teaching about the oceans for social studies, and so we created an “Under the
Sea” unit, complete with making jellyfish out of paper plates cut in half, and
tissue paper streamers hanging down. We hung the 40 decorated jellyfish from
the ceiling, and before you know it the older students started hanging things
in their own rooms, and teachers came to inspect our artwork. They wanted us to make their classes "Christmas Decorations" too. Everyone loves
the jellyfish, and the kids are so proud!!
