This week I had a chance to go over to the nursery school classes. Kids here start coming to school all day at the age of 3. This is called baby class. At age 4 it is called middle class and age 5 is top class. From there they would go to class 1 (grade 1). The nursery school is just up the road from the main campus of PACE. It has it's own compound. They also have a daycare there for kids under the age of 3. I will be going to the nursery school once a week to read stories and do activities with them. This week I read (with interpretation from the teachers) the story of Joseph and the story about the Good Samaritan. After reading the story's I asked the kids to draw a picture of Joseph with his beautifully colored coat. For middle and top class the teachers drew an example and the kids copied. For baby class the teacher drew on each paper and the kids colored it. It all went very well.
When I arrived the kids were taking their morning Ugi (Kenyan version of portage that you drink, and yes I enjoy it).
