Review in pictures of term 2 at RVA


Dr. Seuss Day! Celebrated on Dr. Seuss' birthday.  Which means we all get to wear pajamas to class learn fun facts about this amazing children's book author and listen to stories!



My little whos

all the elementary school listening to stories

On March 14 my 6th graders celebrated Pi day!  We measured all kinds of circular treats to find pi for each one.  Then we ate... and ate.... and ate.  I am pretty sure no one ate lunch that day.


Raspberry, chocolate pie... the prize for the 4 students who memorized the most digits of pi

At my house receiving their reward... the winner at 154 digits!

Making a color coded paper chair for the digits of pi.
 Jr. High Drama.
Enjoying middle eastern tales of virtue and humor.  They did an awesome joy!


My 35 6th graders.  I love them!
 Term 2 Birthday sleepover.


Sarah likes eating icing more than putting it on cupcakes

 Talent show. 
And our 6th graders sure do have talent!

Korean pop song
 I was so proud of my students as they performed at their concert.  They have made so much improvement since that first day when they were given all their instruments and sat on the hill behind my house and squawked away.

Hike to the big fig tree. 
A little ways down the mountain from Kijabe there is this giant fig tree with roots that extend for meters and meters over the rocks and descend down the cliff.  Yes, we too our students to the edge of a cliff.  No one was lost, and despite the complaints on the way back (it was all up hill)  fun was had by all as we enjoyed the beauty of the Great Rift Valley.

  2. Anna! You have such a cherubic looking bunch of 6th graders! They look like a barrel of fun. I'll bet everyday is sheer JOY & organized chaos with them;) This makes me wish so badly you were MY 6th grade teacher, haha (even though that would never be possible). Thanks for making these kids smile, and all of us back home smile :D
