Recording Studio



Today was a hot day; back to normal for Mahadaga after a cool spell. In school, the children came individually to our makeshift recording studio to record their voice saying the sentence they wrote about themselves. Each child was very excited; even the shy ones that we were afraid would clam up in front of a microphone did fine. The kids also spend about an hour of the schoolday filling planting bags to plant a line of hedge trees near the road of their school. We did some rather challenging math, chart, and map-reading activities, then gave the kids a break and saw twenty minutes of ‘Horton hears a Who’ with a French soundtrack. At our closing party Thursday, we’ll bring popcorn and watch the rest.

We’re off to dinner at Francoise’s home after an afternoon of working on lesson-planning and matching photos to text and sound. A good workday, and I’m sure we’re off to a nice meal!
