Final days teaching at KDS

We spent Monday morning and all of Tuesday working with the teachers and students at KDS. We all spent time in a variety of grade levels and subject areas throughout our teaching. We tried to incorporate teaching strategies that we use everyday into our lessons. Some of these strategies include cooperative grouping, educational games, environmental changes, art projects, alternate study materials, and hands-on experiments. We were amazed by how resourceful the teachers are at KDS. With so few materials and resources, the teachers are truly able to do so much.

We were inspired to work hard each night to collectively and individually plan for our lessons. We spent ample time researching on the internet and preparing for our lessons as there are some curriculum differences. We even joked that we spent more time lesson planning in Kenya than we do in the USA. (You'd be surprised on how much teacher homework you have without a teacher's edition!)

We all developed connections with the staff and students at KDS. It is remarkable to see how God is working in the lives of the people involved with the Kinyago Dandora School. The visionaries behind the school have truly put their hearts and heads into supporting God's vision at KDS. Pray that the benevolence of supporters continues to be able to do more in the community!
