Since the move to Gulu I have been teaching Izaac from home. In Jinja we had the benefit of a homeschool school. He had about nine kids in his class with one teacher. They were varied in grade but the beauty of the curriculum they chose was that it was student led so the teacher could more easily manage the different grades. We are hoping to find something in Gulu that we could join to give Izaac and hopefully Ellie some outside teaching. Maybe not full time but at least once a week. It has been going pretty well so far though a few days he really tried to talk his way out of doing school. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday we do his main subjects and Wednesday and Friday we do extra curricular things like art, athletics, some science experiments, and creative writing. For creative writing we decided to start writing letters to friends and family. They almost always add some artwork to the letter so I feel like we are accomplishing two things in one. Izaac is learning the proper way to write a letter and next week I am going to have him address the envelope too.
So if you would like a letter from Izaac or Ellie send me an email or message on Facebook with your address and we will send one. The mail system isn't always the best so it can sometimes take a long time to get to you and occasionally doesn't make it at all but we still send them and pray that they make it.
