12/14 Snakes Oh My


Today is review day for exams, but I still don’t  know what that really means so I feel a little inadequate.  But again the kids are great and tell me what they want to learn.  This will change when I come back from Calcutta as I hope to be a little more proactive.  Help with lesson plans, etc.  Siddarth is going to have some of the Class V kids teach Nursery, Class I, and Class II.  The volunteers will then focus on the upper classes.  This makes sense as the lower classes really need the consistency and discipline of a regular teacher.  Turns out that sometime after I went to sleep, a snake fell on Siddarth.  While no one was harmed, they have asked Bhola to help me set up my mosquito net.  In just a few minutes, I had a sturdy contraption made of bamboo with my net secured over it - very nice.  I feel really safe not just from snakes but from any creepy crawly creatures.  I spend the entire afternoon and early evening setting, or writing, the English exams for Nursery, Class I, Class II, and Class III.   I don’t even realize how tired I am and don’t remember falling asleep after dinner.  ps please forgive all the errors;)  I have very little time to post let alone edit.
