Last Saturday was the usual day filled the the unusual excitement in the air. School's reopened. Over here in the Philippines, the new school year starts at the end of 'summer'. So June marks the start of a new promotion to the next grade.
It was my turn to give a teaching. As usual, our 'class' was held in a little front porch of Auntie Bing's home. The children were spared of the heat with the help of the shady trees above. Since there is no chalk board/white board. We came up with the idea of using Bing's clothes line. And here i am giving my teaching with a carbon board and big clothes pegs (from Singapore) and my teaching slowly being revealed line by line as i 'unroll' it as i teach.
Some people might say 'Ay, these children so poor thing' or 'What ancient methods to use'... while the latter might be true, we thoroughly enjoy ourselves, the children do not mind it too much. We're just happy to be there amongst friends.
Seen are some more teaching materials. All hand made lovingly by Chris, our other team member. We make full use of what we have!
