Back to school the past two days. I am very pleased with the things I have been able to teach DaDa Tina, The teacher, and the children. The children are learning to print, and I showed her the value of teaching them to draw shapes before teaching them their letters. And the dice I brought from my Bunko group have enabled the children to use them for counting and addition. We have learned the Day of the Week song, Head, shoulders Knees and Toes, and the LOVE Where is Thumbkin They love me to blow bubbles for them, but they call them balloons, and they are having fun with the jump ropes I brought for them. Today something funny happened. It had rained, so we stayed inside to play. They were playing with the playdough I had brought them and I was making elephants and lizards for them. I got tired and was standing with my arm around one of the boys. All of a sudden he said something quickly to his friends and two other boys came and stuck their faces in my armpits! They sniffed and said, Ummm, good, Teacher! They don't use deodorant here, so I guess they were impressed with my odor. I have never had anyone want to snill my pits before!

Hi from Patti
Loved the commentary on the safari.
Good smelling pits! That is a new one. Made me laugh.
