Our time at Bakpa Avedo is coming to a close

Today was our last teaching day at the school. Tomorrow all the classes will share presentations on what they have learned and we will have to say goodbye.  Even though we are not leaving the country just yet, I will miss having kids running and playing and talking football all around.

 On the bright side, over the weekend, we all took the fabric that we bought to local seamstresses and tailors and had traditional African clothes made.  I got something very special that I will wear on the first day that I go back to school at Stonecreek Montessori Academy.  I don’t want to post a picture until I show my friends and teachers at school but I will once I’m home.  It’s really awesome and fun.  We are all wearing our new outfits tomorrow to the school for the final celebration before we leave.  I’m looking forward to it! 

Here is a video of a song that each class has been learning called “Draw the Circle Wide.” 

 

 The lyrics are:

Draw the circle.  Draw the circle wide.

Draw the circle. Draw the circle wide.
No one stands alone.  We stand side by side.
Draw the circle. Draw the circle wide.
