We survived the first week! Today we had a meeting with our partnership teachers here and the principal, Mr. January. We talked about the successes and challenges of the week. The teachers at Emafini and Mr. January admitted that they were skeptical at first. They did not think our UNCW students would be able to adjust, but they are pleased with their progress. The classes here are larger in size...typically 40 students in any given class. And the kindergartners operate separately. Next year, they will not have grade R (kindergarten) at the school because they will be under a new mandate to reduce class size down to 28. To make room for the extra classes, Grade Rs will be moved out of the school. In the pictures above you will see Mr. January and the UNCW students at lunch with some of the teachers.
