The curriculum that a friend and I have been working on for the kids at this pre-primary school is "finished." (Read, "it is sitting on my computer, waiting to be proof-read and then brought to town to be printed and bound.)
Being finished with a project is always a good thing, but, it's meant that I have had to find other excuses to walk down this road almost every weekday morning. Luckily for me, even with six teachers, a school of ninety pre-school and kindergartners is pretty much always a good source of work.
They don't have easy access to a copier, so the daily "homework" assignments for each of the kids -- shapes numbers, letters, reading, math, etc -- have to be handwritten in each of their notebooks, as do any classwork assignments. Normally the teachers do all of it, thus the ratio of two teachers to each class of thirty, but, one of the teachers and I have been known to sit down and write in 150+ notebooks all in one shot. :P
Lately, the teachers have been working to create new posters and visual aids for their classrooms, so, Jessica has been drawing posters as well.
This one is supposed to be of "everyday" English words (and required an entire pencil eraser to complete! Lol.).
Good news was, I knew exactly how to draw a desk, because we spent three days building desks for two different schools when the short term team was here last November. Definitely not the secondary use that I thought I would get out of all of that hammering!

Looks like the Mark Kistler Learn to Draw lessons are coming in handy :-)
Anything we can do to help that school or the one that you built desks for??
Haha. Yep. Check out that sweet pencil. Mark Kistler all the way.
