Girls will be girls….
On Monday the Moses student teachers spent the afternoon with Belinda a teacher at Moses Garoeb. Jill, is a student teacher in her class for Sex Ed and I also work in classroom for Art instruction. We met Belinda and her husband at a local restaurant and WATCHED them eat Smiley or Goat’s head. It was a very interesting experience. They enjoyed eating while watching our faces.
After the delightful viewing, we headed to their home. We spent time with Belinda and her precious daughter. She let us try on her traditional Herero dress. It was such a fun afternoon!
Bon Appetite
Bri not disguising anything...
Moments with my learners
Rock Paper Scissor to see if the girls or boys get to come in my class first.
Whoops, soccer game mishap
AIDS/HIV EDUCATION
AIDS is a reality in Namibia. To spread knowledge and not the epidemic AIDS/HIV education is significant in the student’s education. Unlike the U.S. there is no tiptoeing around sex-ed. At a young age every student is taught how to prevent the spread of AIDS. It is a huge part of their lives. When we talk about futures, and dreams many of my students talked about wanting to become a biologist or doctor so that they can find a cure to AIDS. It is so close to their hearts because they witness family members, friends, neighbors, or even themselves, suffering and dying from this disease. These pictures are taken during my friend Jill’s class. She is teaching sex-ed to 6th and 7th graders. Today was condom day, Jill set up several interactive stations. They had a lot of fun!
Ha I am going to miss all of these kiddos so much!
In my English class we have been working on letter writing. I brought letters from my students in Tacoma, to exchange with my Namibian students. It is a fun experience being able to connect my two classes, and cultures.
Reading their letters! They loved them.
Elaiser did not really understand the assignment...he just kept drawing pictures of me and writing letters to me... he is so funny.
Another Art Lesson…
Today we learned about Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel. I had the students making drawings lying on their backs just like Michelangelo did! It was a lot of fun, and they hardly complained at all...
A message to you......
