We are settling into the routine of teaching. When teachers are present, classes are going well. When we are on our own without the host teacher, class control gets challenging, particularly later in the day in the larger classes. Level 5 has 58 students...they can be quite a handful! The temperature and humidity doesn't help. Sleeping is difficult and a few of us have mosquito bites.
After school, some of us visited an income generating project for youth. There are a few of them scattered around the Siliguri, Bagdogra area. They are making gift cards and bags for sale. Some of us helped by showing the the youth some new designs.
It is the final week before a month-long summer break. It is very hot (39 degrees) and students are restless. Sarah and Jan entertained Level 5's in the afternoon with circle games and cricket.
In the evening, Sr. Jane arranged to take Sr. Sarina, Sr. Loyola, Sr. Banisha and Lily to a restaurant in Bagdogra. We experience air conditioning for the first time in a week. A lovely dinner was rudely interrupted by a pair of fighting lizards dropping on Michelle.
