Weekends are for planning

Which is pretty much what we did. I am majoring in 3 year olds and determined to only used locally sourced material. Coffee filters, pipe cleaners, paper plates and bags, cotton balls, TP rolls, magazine cut outs plus crayons, glue and markers. OK I did find some google eyes and stickers donated earlier, but not glitter! I know the creative among
you are already fashioning elaborate crafts. I’ll post pictures if anything comes out.

Speaking of pictures, the policy here is strictly enforced that we do not take pictures of the children until way at the end of our teaching, if at all. Or locals unless backs are turned. Makes me wonder which of the gazillion “selfies with a tween” that were taken of me in China have fallen into the wrong hands.

The high school French is way more useful than I ever expected. Morocco has always used French beside Arabic, and have just recently devised a written alphabet and now have signs in Berber as well. There was a time under the new king when English gained popularity, but the old ways are coming back strong. And of course “how much” is understood everywhere.








Calls to prayer - of course now there is down loadable PDF, but the ancients has solar triggers:
1 Dawn covers full width of the sky
2 Sun casts on shadows a man standing outside
3 Shadow is same length as man is tall
4 Sun completely set below horizon
5 All red gone from western sky
